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
