Pronobozo feat. Zoe Holman , Les Stroud & Juan Barbosa - I Was There lyrics

(Hey) [x2]

I was there
When the world lost all control
And I'll be here when it takes its toll
I was there when we sold our souls
When our hearts went cold and we lost tenfold (I was there)
I saw the core of men as greed
And put a coin in the death machine
We burn the oil and the gasoline
Then we laugh at the world as they try to breath (I was there)
When the walls came crashing down
And there wasn't anybody around
I was there for the floods, I could hear the sound
But I didn't do nothing, I let you drown (I was there)
'Cause I was there but I wasn't awake
And now I'll pay for my mistakes
'Cause I was there long enough to manipulate and violate the world
Now it's far too late (I was there)

When the whole world came crashing down [x2]
I was there
When the whole world came crashing down
When the world came crashing down, down

I was there
When the blood spilled over religion
I saw evil and its definition
Preaching lies and contradictions
As I looked in the eyes of the hungry children (I was there)
Because I was part of the coalition
Signed my name, it was my decision
We fucked the world with little resistance
Signs were all there but nobody listened (I was there)
Now I watch the world eat itself
And wish that I could be someone else
'Cause I'm the reason that we're in this hell
I did it all just to watch my pockets swell (I was there)
And now we've reached the end
My time's up now can't make amends
I just die slowly while my soul descends
Into a nightmare you could never comprehend
I was there

When the whole world came crashing down [x2]
I was there
When the whole world came crashing down
When the world came crashing down, down

To become evil in the flesh
I wonder how I ever made this mess
Shows over, take a bow
Too bad we can't turn back now
'Cause I'd done it so different
I wouldn't have allowed myself
[x2]

To become evil in the flesh
I wonder how I ever made this mess
Shows over, take a bow

When the whole world came crashing down [x2]
I was there
When the whole world came crashing down
When the world came crashing down, down
I was there
