Testify |
| Morning’s hard |
| Coffee’s cold |
| Pretending that the days |
| Mean more than getting old |
| Stale headlines |
| Others 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 won’t let me sleep |
| Don’t let hearts break |
| And don’t let children cry |
| Before it gets too late |
| I want to testify |
| I take what’s said |
| As my daily bread |
| 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 |
| I’m gonna find that place |
| It’s 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 won’t let me sleep |
| Don’t let hearts break |
| And don’t 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 |
| I’m going to touch |
| And I’ve 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 won’t let me sleep |
| Don’t let hearts break |
| And don’t let children cry |
| Before it gets too late |
| I want to testify |
