Someone was crying and the bells rang Then I don't remember a thing You were talking 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 never lets you disappear And I will be that witness to your life This may be just be 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 joined the Union Fought every urge that told you to run Stared down the barrel of an empty gun And wondered a bit Stopped listening 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 never lets 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 never lets you disappear And I will be that witness to your life Baby, I will be that witness to your life I float, your car comes into view And from our front lawn I just smile at you And everyday I thank the Lord that you Took the right road home
