Testify

Morning's hard coffee's coldPretending that the days mean more than getting oldStale headlines others drenched in prideMarching to their drum with fear standing besideBut if I close my eyes and throw back my headI can see his face and I hear the words he saidAnd my memories ache and my senses burnDid he dream too late will we ever learnCHORUSI, I want to testifyMy love still lives and breathesAnd my soul is screaming whyThe thoughts won't let me sleepDon't let hearts breakAnd don't let children cryBefore it gets too lateI want to testifyI take what's said as my daily breadI turn the page and I turn my headI pick I choose on the evening newsCause by cause they fight and one by one they loseMust I live my days in these concrete waysWill the fire break through this smoky hazeAnd I swear tonight I'm gonna find that placeIt's not the love that dies but the understanding waysCHORUSRip through the wire that screens in my windowThrow open the shade that covers my mindI'm going to touch I've got to believeThe bell tolls for meCHORUS
