Machine SoundWaves - Where Are They Now? Lyrics

Before the streets were lost in fear, the shadows ruled the night
Drugs and crime brought chaos here, no hope, no guiding light
They needed someone bold and true, to clean the streets again
They knew his hand would be severe, yet still, they called his name

Where are they now? The ones who stood so proud
Who praised his war, but now they hide, not speaking out aloud
But we, the people, still hold strong, his legacy we keep
Though the powerful are silent now, our love for him runs deep

The streets grew quiet, peace returned, as many feared his might
Criminals fell, the streets were clean, he turned the dark to light
They cheered his name, they called it right, the allies stood in praise
But now they hide, they turn away, as new voices start to raise

Where are they now? The ones who stood so proud
Who praised his war, but now they hide, not speaking out aloud
But we, the people, still hold strong, his legacy we keep
Though the powerful are silent now, our love for him runs deep

Now they turn their backs and point, they say his war was wrong
The courts prepare, the charges grow, his allies fade along
But we, the people, we remember, what he gave to us
When others ran, he stood his ground, in him we placed our trust

He fought for us when all was dark, when others turned away
Now where are they who cheered so loud? Why won't they stand today
But we are here, we still remain, the people he believed
No matter what, we'll stand with him, his legacy we keep

Where are they now? The ones who stood so proud
Who praised his war, but now they hide, not speaking out aloud
But we, the people, still hold strong, his legacy we keep
Though the powerful are silent now, our love for him runs deep
