I Will Bear Witness

I Will Bear Witness

Verse 1

If I'm despondent

Then I will know

That I should become involved in my life

Staring blankly into space

Will not get me to a better place

Action is stronger than will

When I'm indifferent to my well-being

Self-love will be my number one priority

Not wanting to wake up 

Each time I go to sleep

Will only make me become moodier

Negativity is destructive

Verse 2

If anger is building up inside of me

I will let it out creatively

Rage is a counter-productive force

Eventually it leads to remorse

Bridge

Affirmation is part of honesty

Bravery is confronting scarcity

Detachment yearns for a bond

Understanding eliminates confusion

Revelation seizes attention

Maturity equates to growth

Chorus 1

I was born with sight

But was blind to the essence of me

I will bear witness 

To all things which form my identity

Chorus 2

I was born with sight

But was blind to reality around me

I will bear witness

To all things which form my identity

Chorus 3

Born with sight is being fortunate

A lack of vision leads to blindness

I will bear witness

To all things which form my identity
