I'm uncertain where I stand
Should I run to you like a broken man
My cap in my left hand my heart in my right
It seems to me, that the end's in sight
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And I can't see the reason nor the rhyme
In this testing time
In September the storm clouds gathered
Now the ill winds are howling a-fowling the air
With a lump in my throat, a tear in my eye
I'd give anything to put paid to this lie
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And I can't see the reason nor the rhyme
In this testing time
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And I can't see the reason nor the rhyme
In this testing time
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And I can't see the reason nor the rhyme
In this testing time
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And I can't see the reason nor the rhyme
In this testing time
It's a testing time, yes it's a testing time
And we're laying our lives on the line
In this testing time
