Mornings hard coffees 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 wont let me sleep
Dont let hearts break
And dont let children cry
Before it gets too late I want to testify
I take whats 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 Im gonna find that place
Its 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 wont let me sleep
Dont let hearts break
And dont 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
Im going to touch Ive 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 wont let me sleep
Dont let hearts break And dont let children cry
Before it gets too late
I want to testify
