Released with The Out There Tapes

lyrics

Can I get a witness?
Somebody to spread the news
That we’re all in together now?
That all Gd’s children got shoes?

Yes, and can I get a witness?
Somebody to tell my good news to?
I’m a long time here, looking for an ear
To help me carry through

I been a long time looking at myself
Not a man, nor monkey, but something else
Got to call you on the phone, I’m feeling so alone
What can I do?

The sweetness makes me cry
The bitterness stings my eyes
My wings are broke, but c’mon and watch me fly

Can I get a witness?
The heat is beating down on me
Who will break this ball and chain
And set these children free?

Can I get a witness?
I heard that choir once before
Now take me to the water
And bring my two by four

How long? How long have I been pressing?
Searching, searching for a blessing?
I see it now again, I hear it in the wind
Tell me, do you?

The sweetness makes me cry
The bitterness stings my eyes
My wings are broke, but c’mon and watch me fly

Can I get a witness
Somebody put up your hand (Put up your hand)
Somebody let me know right now
That someone understands

Tell me, do you get this?
Hear them trumpets blowing loud
Stand up here right next to me
Stand up and be proud

The sweetness makes me cry
The bitterness stings my eyes
My wings are broke, but c’mon and watch me fly

Don't Fail Me Now

John has one of the best bands ever. His songwriting is masterful - heartbreaking and heartbroken. And the riffs are pretty badass. He is a brilliant performer and a great friend. Check him out! The Crux
