Where were you when the lights went down and the sun went out
Did you feel when the whole world changed? Did you hear the shout
I can't say what it means to me. I'm not blind, but it's hard to see
Where were you when the lights went down and the sun went out
Did you walk with the faceless people and pass me by
Was it easier to keep your head up in the sky
I don't place any blame on you. If I was there, I might do that too
Did you walk with the faceless people and pass me by
It's not a matter of black or white. It doesn't have to be wrong or right
When equilibrium goes its sorry way
If you can manage to hold that smile as you travel that extra mile
Then I'll see you when the end comes to the day
Do you subscribe to the point of view of I'm alright, Jack
Put your troubles out on the board and I'll take mine back
Or are you busy with your own thing? Moving with what your day might bring
Do you subscribe to the point of view of I'm alright, Jack
It's not a matter of black or white. It doesn't have to be wrong or right
When equilibrium goes its sorry way
If you can manage to hold that smile as you travel that extra mile
Then I'll see you when the end comes to the day
Where were you when the lights went down and the sun went out
Did you feel when the whole world changed? Did you hear the shout
I can't say what it means to me. I'm not blind but it's hard to see
Where were you when the lights went down and the sun went out
