Testify (2013)

Boasting Freedom within Hatred
Imprisoned by Love
Break free of the chains
& run, Baby run!

Choke on your breath
& stop for no deed
Nothing's as important
As those mouths that you feed

Climb a true mountain
Your own Gilead
Testify to the Heavens
With all that you have

Bleed cuz you earned it
& wear it so well
& scrape the soot off your knees
From crawling though Hell

Square up your shoulders
Damn you look good!
Standing tall, Ever-Proud
Like a stronger fighter should

Push those Suicide Dreams
Up into the clouds
Almost killed your own Pride
Yeah... I know how it sounds

Faith flies only so far
Before your feet hit the ground
Hit it hard, hit it running
& keep your head down

Cuz if God is truly watching
Then he's already waitin
Your Victory so close
Even He can taste it

You'll rip open new wounds
Cuz that's what Life does
But they heal. Keep it moving
Knowing they must

Testimony Witnessed
With your knees all skinned up
Be Proud of every scar you earned
Just for not giving up
