Melissa Etheridge Lyrics

"Testify" lyrics


(M. Etheridge, K. McCormick)

Morning's hard coffee's 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 

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 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

chorus

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
