“The Witness”

Verse 1 I watched a child draw a sun on a paper with a smile Same day another man walked a thousand miles in denial Saw a mother work doubles just to keep the lights alive Saw a billionaire complain while a poor man learned to survive Humans build cathedrals, humans build cages Write holy books then start wars through the ages Paint masterpieces, leave scars on the planet Reach for the stars, then forget where they standin’ Everybody certain that they’re right in the fight Pointin’ fingers all day, never lookin’ at the mirror at night Love in one hand, hate in the other one too The same heart that heals can break another in two Hook I’m just a witness watchin’ the story unfold Young hearts dreamin’, old souls growin’ cold Everybody searchin’ for a truth they can hold Tryin’ to find heaven while they’re walkin’ through the smoke 2 Politics got people divided in sections Talkin’ over each other instead of reflections Red side, blue side, left side, right side Meanwhile the clock keeps tickin’ through the night sky Some trust God, some trust science and reason Some lose faith after a difficult season Some find peace in a prayer on their knees Others find wonder in galaxies and seas Questions get bigger the older we become Why are we here? Where’d we come from? What’s the cost of a life? What’s the price of a soul? Can anybody truly know the whole scroll? Hook I’m just a witness watchin’ the story unfold Young hearts dreamin’, old souls growin’ cold Everybody searchin’ for a truth they can hold Tryin’ to find heaven while they’re walkin’ through the smoke 3 Yet I see kindness that never makes the news People givin’ their last dollar when they got nothin’ to lose
