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