Were You There? Lyrics
Well were you there
My good man
When the river called the Colorado
Made the canyon they call Grand
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
And were you there
My good man
When the watery volcano
Exploded into land
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
And were you there
My good man
When the weather became water
And then washed ashore in the sand
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
And will you be there
My good man
When the sun is finally smothered out
By his mighty right hand
Believe me now
My good man
I'll be there, but now here I am
My good man
When the river called the Colorado
Made the canyon they call Grand
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
My good man
When the watery volcano
Exploded into land
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
My good man
When the weather became water
And then washed ashore in the sand
Believe me now
My good man
I was there, but now here I am
My good man
When the sun is finally smothered out
By his mighty right hand
Believe me now
My good man
I'll be there, but now here I am

I think one reading of these lyrics could support the perspective that the speaker, "I," is God - consider references to God as" the Great I Am" and this song's repetition of the phrase "I am." Each stanza provides an illustration of God's everlasting power over the man to whom he speaks, who could represent all of Man rather than just one man.
