The New Praiseworthy ‎#354

354. Was It You?

1 Somebody voted to ruin my boy,
Was that somebody you?
Somebody helped his pure life to destroy,
Was that somebody you?

Chorus:
Was that somebody you? (was it you?)
Was that somebody you? (was it you?)
Somebody voted to ruin my boy,
Was that somebody you? (was it you?)

2 Somebody argued in favor of wrong,
Was that somebody you?
Somebody hushed in my life a sweet song,
Was that somebody you? [Chorus]

3 Somebody turned all my day into night,
Was that somebody you?
Somebody voted to throttle the right,
Was that somebody you? [Chorus]

4 Somebody licensed another to sell,
Was that somebody you?
That which could turn Paradise into hell,
Was that somebody you? [Chorus]
