Witness to Your Life

Someone was crying and the bells rang

Then I don't remember a thing

You were talking, but the words came

From somebody else

Someone said "kiss her" and so you did

I was smilin' like a little kid

You kissed my teeth and then we both hid

Inside each other's arms

All you really need is someone to be here

Someone who never lets you disappear

And I will be that witness to your life

This may be just be a softer place to fall

But somebody will answer when you call

And I will be that witness to your life

You got that job and joined the Union

Fought every urge that told you to run

Stared down the barrel of an empty gun

And wondered a bit

Stopped listening to all your friends

They think this is where life begins and ends

No one reaches, no one transcends

They just learn to live with it

All you really need is someone to be here

Someone who never lets you disappear

And I will be that witness to your life

You should never have to be alone

Someone will always call you home

And I will be that witness to your life

All you really need is someone to be here

Someone who never lets you disappear

And I will be that witness to your life

Baby, I will be that witness to your life

Up the road, your car comes into view

And from our front lawn, I just smile at you

And every day, I thank the Lord that you

Took the right road home
