Testify

Morning's hard coffee's cold Pretending that the days mean more than getting old Stale headlines other drenched in pride Marching to their drum with fear standing beside But if I close my eyes and throw back my head I can see his face and I hear the words he said And my memories ache and my senses burn Did he dream too late will we ever learn I, I want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify I take what's said as my daily dread I turn the page and I turn my head I pick I choose on the evening news Cause by cause they fight and one by one they lose Must I live my days in these concrete ways Will the fire break through this smokey haze And I swear tonight I'm gonna find that place It's not the love that dies but the understanding ways I, I want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify Rip through the wire that screens in my window Throw open the shade that covers my mind I'm going to touch I've got to believe The bell tolls for me I, I want to testify My love still lives and breathes And my soul is screaming why The thoughts won't let me sleep Don't let hearts break And don't let children cry Before it gets too late I want to testify
