Where Were You

Scott Whitby, 2023

Where were You when

I scraped my knees,

when I was cold,

scared, and couldn't sleep

Where were You when

when Dad looked to another

and broke my heart and

broke my mother

Where were You when

I was a young man

and fidelity was lost,

no hand for my hand

And where were You!

When I was alone

Broke like my mom...

a stranger at home

Can You answer me?

Say what I need?

Yes!...

I can!

Can you believe?

Your bleeding stopped

You got warm

You fell asleep

That was Me

I fixed your heart

I fixed your mother

Y'all found peace

That was Me

I sent you Kay

and Laura and Mae

I sent those three

That was Me

You only thought you were alone

and thought you were broke

Can you believe?

That was Me!
