Saw a mans home, a box made of cardboard

Frozen to the bone, cant take much more

He says Lord I need help here, send me a strong hand

To lift me from the street, help me to stand Ive been forgotten, been forsaken

Poisoned by a bottle I could not shake it

Ive been passed over, been rejected And Im afraid Ill never feel

The warmth of summer come again

Man I am helpless, Im freezing

You were there, you were there I saw a sick man on a sick bed

Scorned by the world like he had two heads

He says Im a man here dying a cruel death

I'm cut off from the world, man it was so sad He was suffering, he was ailing

Tortured by his fate, his body was failing

He says Im an outcast, left defenseless And Im afraid that Ill be dead

Before the summer comes again

Ive been rejected, man I am dying

You were there, you were there Saw a rich man alone in a dark house

A prison made of gold he could not break out

He says my life is aimless, it just seems pointless

Boredom truly kills, man I am hopeless I got diamonds, I got houses

I got silver clouds and silver spoons to match it

Ive come up empty, man I am desperate And I never want to feel

The warmth of summer come again

Ill be forgotten, my life is over

You were there, you were there

You were there, Lord, you were there
