Testify

Come a little closer it's a feeling that I can't deny

I was weak, but I never thought I'd speak about the darker

side

Is that a tent? I could repent upon the side of the road

But, I kept on going yeah I headed for another load

I get up from the ground in the middle of the evening

Up from the ground in the middle of the night

Oh, I testify

I was laid upon the grave by a preacher's hand I cannot lie

And, I forsake the many vows I made to be with you tonight

Could you be the salvation cause I never felt like this before

And, could you lend me your hand because I'm falling back on

the floor

I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning

Up from the ground in the middle of the evening

Up from the ground in the middle of the night

Oh, I testify

On a road outside of nowhere, in the middle of the night

Well I guess I hit rock bottom and the dawn was not in sight

And a Tempest made of fire, onset the sky aglow

And a sweet young thing called out my name

And this is how it goes, she says ....

'Go boy, can you hear them? Are you falling through the cracks

in your eyes?'

And I got down on my knees

I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning

Up from the ground in the middle of the evening

Up from the ground and I'm falling back down

Up from the ground and I testify

Every cut that heals reveals a scar that you can never hope to

hide

All the pain that you restrain keeps buildings up deep inside

If you think you're above it then it's you my friend that I

implore

You've got to walk before you run

See the night before dawn

Before you pull yourself off the floor

I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning

Up from the ground in the middle of the evening

Up from the ground in the middle of the night

Oh, I testify
