HE RAISED HIS CANE AND FOUGHT TO LAUGH
AT HIGH SCHOOL FRAMED PHOTOGRAPHS.
I'M THE ONE WITH THE CHICKS HEAD ON MY SHOULDER
DAZED AND GRAYED AND LOOKING PAST SHADES.
THE PANE'S HIS LOOKING GLASS.
WE WERE CHARMERS WITH SIX PACKS ON THE CORNER
RAINY DAYS AND STORIES END
BUT DAYS OF GODS AND GLORY MEND
CHORUS:
I WAS THERE WHEN THE MOON WAS MANNED.
WHEN THE WORLD WAS SAD AS JOHN SALUTED DAD.
I WAS 'ROUND WHEN THE NEW YORK TOWERS AND THE WALLS CAME DOWN.
I WAS THERE FOR ALL OF THAT.
BUT I DON'T WANT I WAS, I WAS MY LAST. I WANT I AM
HE MAKES HIS WAY TO MORNING CLASS.
HEY LAST CHANCE FOR TEACHERS PETS.
IT'S MY HONOR TO MOVE YOU ONWARD "SOLDIERS".
NOW SAVE YOUR DAYS AND AUTOGRAPHS
AND KEEP SAFE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHS.
IT'S YOUR LAST SUMMER DON'T SPEND IT ON THE CORNER.
'CAUSE RAINY DAYS WILL COME AGAIN
BUT DAYS OF GODS AND GLORY END
CHORUS:
I WAS THERE WHEN THE MOON WAS MANNED.
WHEN THE WORLD WAS SAD AS JOHN SALUTED DAD.
I WAS THERE AT THE WARS IN SAND
AS THE WORLD TUNED IN TO THE WAR ON CNN
I WAS THERE WHEN THE POPE WAS GRAVE.
AND THE WHOLE WORLD PRAYED AS GOD SALUTED A MAN.
I WAS 'ROUND WHEN THE NEW YORK TOWERS AND THE WALLS CAME DOWN.
I WAS THERE FOR ALL OF THAT.
BUT I DON WANT I WAS NO I DON WANT I WAS I WANT I AM
BRIDGE:
LET ME. ACCEPT ME
I'M JUST WHO IM SUPPOSED TO BE.
FORGIVE ME FOR LIVING
BUT HERE IS WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO BE
I AM STILL, I AM. I AM STILL, I AM I AM, I AM
