I was there when they built the cathedrals I was there and I watched them stand tall I was there for the villagers' upheaval I was there and I answered their call I was there when they fought in ancient Rome I was there and I watched poor men die far from home I was there when we ate just like kings I was there and I fed you a grape I was there when they sold you into slavery I was there and I helped you escape I was there when ****** built an army I was there when Stalin rose to fame I was there in the Jewish death camps I was there and I forgot my own name I was there I was a pickpocket in London I was there when Dickens wrote the Twist I was there when it happened, all the sudden I was there and I raised up my fist I was there with Daniel and the lions I was there when he went down to that cave It had nothing to do with a God up in heaven It had something to do with the knowledge he craved.

I was there
I was there when they built the cathedrals I was there and I watched them stand tall I was there for the villagers' upheaval I was there and I answered their call I was there when they fought in ancient Rome I was there and I watched poor men die far from home I was there when we ate just like kings I was there and I fed you a grape I was there when they sold you into slavery I was there and I helped you escape I was there when ****** built an army I was there when Stalin rose to fame I was there in the Jewish death camps I was there and I forgot my own name I was there I was a pickpocket in London I was there when Dickens wrote the Twist I was there when it happened, all the sudden I was there and I raised up my fist I was there with Daniel and the lions I was there when he went down to that cave It had nothing to do with a God up in heaven It had something to do with the knowledge he craved.
