Ferron - Testimony lyrics

rate me

There's godlike

And warlike

And strong

Like only some show

And there's sad like

And madlike

And had

Like we know

But by my life be I spirit

And by my heart be I woman

And by my eyes be I open

And by my hands be I whole

They say slowly

Brings the least shock

But no matter how slow I walk

There are traces

Empty spaces

And doors and doors of locks

But by my life be I spirit

And by my heart be I woman

And by my eyes be I open

And by my hands be I whole

You young ones

You're the next ones

And I hope you choose it well

Though you try hard

You may fall prey

To the jaded jewel

But by your lives be you spirit

And by your hearts be you women

And by your eyes be you open

And by your hands be you whole

Listen, there are waters

Hidden from us

In the maze we find them still

We'll take you to them

You take your young ones

May they take their own in turn

But by your lives be you spirit

And by your hearts be you women

And by your eyes be you open

And by your hands be you whole
