Testify

Daddy don't look at me

I'm afraid of what you will see

I'm finding it hard to believe

That I'm a child of royalty

I know you see through this disguise

Searching in places not seen with the eyes

I'm posing as something I'm not

I point the finger

'Cause it's all that I've got

Testify for me

'Cause I've nothing to say for myself

I've wasted your time and held on with all my might

To this losing hand I've been dealt

All messed up

With no one to show

'Cause I burned that bridge with you

Oh a long a long time ago

Now look at these altars I've built

See how my pride stands tall

So many lovers fall in line and I

I bow to them all

Testify for me

Nothing seems to last

I've wasted my time on this good for nothing wine

That wore off too soon and too fast.

'Cause I'm still here

And I'm still me

But tomorrow's not certain

I'll make one last plea

Now if I should die in my sleep

Something grabs hold of this heartbeat

Whether I struggle or go in peace

All that I ask

Is let it be you that I see

I see

[John 5:31-32]
