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
