Ships
		
Look at him now
		GCG
Another used man
	          
Wearing the passing of his dignity
 		 	    	
With all the courage that he can
 	        
He stood in the storm
		        CG
Carved out in stone
		      
He said I've worn my honesty with pride
  		    
In everything I've done
                                  
So where were you when my ship went down
                             
Where were you when I ran aground
                                  
Where were you when I turned it around
                                       
Where were you when they burned me down
	    
Look at her now
                    CG
All tired and worn
               
She never thought her life
 				
Would come to be so cold or so alone

She walked in the light
                       CG
Fought bondage for love
                        
She said I cast off the chains that I was born with
  		
But it never was enough

CHORUS

                               
Silent souls washed upon the shores
                     
Left to walk the sands
		
Evermore, evermore
                                     CG
Look at us now, just chasing our lives
              
Make like the saviors of the planet
   			
We're just trying to get by

You may walk the line

		     	  CG
You may see it all through
                           
I know you cry yourself to sleep at night
 			
Just wondering what to do
