Lyrics
Witness
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's taken everything
Everything I got and it's hung me on the line
Water rising up over me
And I think I'm gonna die
Think I'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what I said
I told the one you know I'll always keep
Whose God is mine
Whose God is
The one with the witness
Shine your lonely light on me
I'll be there to hold the mirror
I can take you down with me
Show you lonely, lonely, lonely
Death wastes no time it seems
And it's hung me on the line
Hung me on the line
Hard rain falling all over me
And I think I'm gonna die
Think I'm gonna die
I told a lie
That's what I said
I told the one you know I'll always keep
Whose God is mine
Whose God is
The one with the witness
