Verse 1

Morning’s hard, coffee’s cold

Pretending that the day mean more than getting old

Stale headlines others drenched in pride

Marching to their drums 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

Chorus

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 get’s too late

 I want to testify

Verse 2

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

Caused by cause they fight and one by one they loose

Must I live my days in these concrete ways

Will the fre 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

Chorus

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 get’s too late

 I want to testify

Bridge

 Rip through the wire that screens in my window

 Throw open the shade that covers my mind

 I’m going to touch I’ve got to believe

 The bell tolls for me

Chorus 2x

and end.
