Testify — текст песни (Melissa Etheridge)

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

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 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 I`m gonna find that place
It`s 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 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

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

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
