I could repent upon the side of the road But, I kept on going yeah I headed for another load I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning Up from the ground in the middle of the evening Up from the ground in the middle of the night Oh, I testify I was laid upon the grave by a preacher's hand I cannot lie And, I forsake the many vows I made to be with you tonight Could you be the salvation cause I never felt like this before And, could you lend me your hand because I'm falling back on the floor I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning Up from the ground in the middle of the evening Up from the ground in the middle of the night Oh, I testify On a road outside of nowhere, in the middle of the night Well I guess I hit rock bottom and the dawn was not in sight And a Tempest made of fire, onset the sky aglow And a sweet young thing called out my name And this is how it goes, she says... "Go boy, can you hear them? Are you falling through the cracks in your eyes?" And I got down on my knees I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning Up from the ground in the middle of the evening Up from the ground and I'm falling back down Up from the ground and I testify Every cut that heals reveals a scar that you can never hope to hide All the pain that you restrain keeps building up deep inside If you think you're above it then it's you my friend that I implore You've got to walk before you run See the night before dawn Before you pull yourself off the floor I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning Up from the ground in the middle of the evening Up from the ground in the middle of the night Oh, I testify
