Testify Lyrics

We're gonna leave it at that

Alright, it goes a little something like this

Lost my shoes and walked on the pavement, paid my dues in penance

Sought out sights you wouldn't believe in the face of danger

Told my foes get out of my way, I barely escaped them

Held my breath and hopped on the train down to the last station

All I know is what I have and no one's there to greet me on the other side

The folks who met me there heard of me down the grapevine

Said no one would hear my songs and all I sang were lies

I told them noble lives made for better men

They laughed at my face but they washed their hands in sin

No one heard my wisdom so I thought I'd take another ride

I sought redemption in the lowest place of man

Looking for exception I fought with tooth and nail

Couldn't find companions who knew the place I'm in

My reputation I'll stake upon these claims

I needed to find someone who'd stand with me and testify

Yeah, come on

I bet on Christ you won't believe why he was crucified

Long lost nights and Arabian lights over my head now

I can't go home at the break of day now the sun's out

I'll find a way to make my own in this old town

I can't help but want to meet you on the other side

Now that I have made it I don't need to toe the line

I'll sing my songs in New Rome before she tumbles down

I'll shed a tear for her now like a soulful clown

And on that day sunny rays seemed to form a crown

Had I given her my love I'd never had found my sound

There you go
