Where Are They Now?

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
