Testimony Songtext
von Robbie Robertson

Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance
You can hear his music if you listen to the wind (blow)
I want to be there - I want to be right there
I want to see it with my own eyes

Bear witness, I′m wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I've held the broken dream
In my soul, I′m howling at the moon

Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify

I had a revelation like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on Smokey Mountain (Lord)
Playing guitar in a one man band (that's right)


Bear witness, I'm howling at the moon
Come bear witness, I′ve danced among the ruins
In these shoes, I′ve walked a crooked mile
All my life I been searching for the nightbird

Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify

Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose - but your chains

For forty days and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by my side (rave on)

Bear witness, I'm wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I′ve held the broken dream
In my soul, I'm howling at the moon

Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify


Testimony, testimony
Testimony - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify

Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself - I will testify
Testimony, testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
