Surrounded

Joe Cocker


I was there
when you shone as bright as 
Bethlehem from afar
I was there 
when you were young and strong
and perverted 
and everything that makes a young man 
oh you were a star
I was there 
and I swear to god 
and on my mother's grave
on everything I have
or ever will embrace
I was there 
and I saw it with my own two eyes

and now it's all around me 
it's all around me
I'm surrounded
now it's all around me 
it's all around me
you surround me like a circle

I was there 
c'mon and tell me I wasn't worth
sticking it out for
well I was there
and I know I was worth it
cause if I wasn't worth it
that makes me worse off then you are
but don't lose sight of me now
don't lose sight of me now

I was there
when they dropped the bomb 
ya' know I remember the bomb 
and I still hear the bomb
and I still fight the bomb 
you know I still fear the bomb 
you know I still hate the bomb 
sometimes I still get the call 

so don't lose sight of me now
you know you're all around me
I'm surrounded
you surround me like a circle
