Testify

Shame on you
Ran all the way back down
If you had a chance
Ain't got no chance
You sold your soul
You goin' down
All the way down
Hellhounds on your trail, boy
Hellhounds on your trail

Ooh, come a little closer
It's a feeling that I can't deny
I was weak but I never thought
I'd speak about the darker side
Ooh, is that a tent?
I could repent upon the side of the road
Oh, but I kept on going
Yeah, I headed for another load

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

Ooh, I was laid upon the grave
By a preacher's hand I cannot lie
And, I forsake the many vows
I made to be with you tonight
Oh, could you be the salvation
'Cause I never felt like this before?
And, could you lend me your hand
Because I'm falling back on the floor

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

On a road outside of nowhere
In the middle of the night
Well, I guess I hit rock bottom
And the dawn was not in sight
And a tempest made of fire
Onset the sky aglow
And a sweet young thing
Called out my name
And this is how it goes

She says
Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling
through the cracks in your eyes?
Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling
Through the cracks in your eyes?
Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling
Through the cracks in your eyes?

Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling
Through the cracks in your eyes?
Go boy, can you hear them?
Are you falling
Through the cracks in your eyes?

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
And I'm falling back down
Up from the ground
I testify

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
And I'm falling back down
Up from the ground
I testify

Ooh, every cut that heals reveals a scar
That you can never hope to hide
Oh, and all the pain that you restrain
Keeps on building up deep inside
Ooh, you think you're above it
Then it's you my friend that I implore
You've got to walk before you run
see the night before dawn
Before you pull yourself off the floor

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

Up from the ground, yeah
I testify yeah, yeah, yeah

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
And I'm falling back down
Up from the ground
I testify

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify

I get up from the ground
In the middle of the morning
Up from the ground
In the middle of the evening
Up from the ground
In the middle of the night
Oh-oh-oh, I testify
