Where Were You - Francesca Battistelli

Calling and calling, nobody home

It feels like I’m falling alone

Out on an island, SOS on the beach

Watching your plane pass over me

How could You miss me?

With my hands in the air

I thought You were listening

I thought You’d be there

Where were You?

When I had no one to turn to

Where were You?

When my worst fears were coming true

Where were You?

I thought you’d come to my rescue

Where were You?

One set of footprints, on the path I’d been on

But You say You’ve been here all along, oh

If you really loved me, like nobody else

Why was I walking through hell

How could You miss me?

With my hands in the air

I thought You were listening

Oh, I thought You’d be there

Where were You?

When I had no one to turn to

Where were You?

When my worst fears were coming true

Where were You?

I thought You’d come to my rescue

When my prayers bounced off the ceiling

I was facing down my demons

When my legs gave up beneath me

And I fell into Your arms

Where were You?

When I had no one to turn to

You carried me through

On your shoulders, black and blue

I never knew

The footprints in the sand were You

Were You

One set of footprints, on a path I’d been on

Now I know they were Yours all along
