Witness to Your Life

Someone was cryin' and the bells rang
Then I don’t remember a thing
You were talkin' 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’ll never let you disappear
And I will be that witness to your life
This maybe just 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 join the union
Fought every urge, I told you to run
Stared down the barrel of an empty gun
And wandered a bit
Stopped listenin' 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’ll never let 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’ll never let 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 a furlong I just smile at you
Another day I thank the Lord that you
Took the right road home
