[Verse 1] You swear
By every dog-eared prayer
In your “my troubles” diary
By every beveled edge
Of your chem leveled being

[Verse 2] With fear
That you bear the brunt
Of your grandfathers’ wage
With nary a blazing hedge
In perimeter for protection

[Refrain] Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where

[Verse 3] Try keeping a family of five
Warm, safe and dry
Under one child-sized
Umbrella, dying
With bent up wires
And tears in the vinyl

[Interlude 1] I’m trying
But I’m tired
I’m so tired
Sirens wake you
Then silence takes you
Back to sleep
But your next dream

[Refrain] Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where

[Bridge] In case your castle crumbles
Refrain from grumbling
Stride, don’t stumble
With pride, print tickets to the rubble

[Refrain] Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where you are
Be where

[Various Audio Sound Bites] [Interlude 2] I’m trying
But I’m tired
Though I’m tired
I’m trying
I’m still trying

[Outro] (Be where you are)
(Be where you are)
Be where (You are)
