Francesca Battistelli
Where Were You
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
How could You miss me?
With my hands in the air
I thought You were listening
I thought You'd be there

[Chorus 1]
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?

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
How could You miss me?
With my hands in the air
I thought You were listening
Oh, I thought You'd be there

[Chorus 1]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus 2]
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
[Outro]
One set of footprints, on a path I'd been on
Now I know they were Yours all along
