Testimony

Look over yonder, apollo at a distance
You can hear his music if you listen to the wind (blow)
I want to be there - i want to be right there
Bear witness, i'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, i've held the broken dream
In my soul, i'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - i will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, i will testify
I had a revelation like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on smokey mountain
Playing guitar in a one man band
Bear witness, i'm howling at the moon
Come bear witness, i've danced among the ruins
In these shoes, i've walked a crooked mile
All my life i been searching for the nightbird
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - i will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, i will testify
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose - but your chains
For forty days and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by mide side (rave on)
Bear witness, i'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, i've held the broken dream
In my soul, i'm howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - i will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, i will testify
