Bearing Witness
It’s a test of faith
When you climb aboard the mystery ride
With the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
It’s a wonder love is still alive
For you’ll never know what fate holds around the bend
It could be a pot of gold at the rainbow’s end

Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness to the mystery

Broken promises mark the highway of this crazy love
Crawling through the unknown with no compass
A commitment and the stars above
But every cloud holds hidden treasure
Every traveler is a messenger

Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness to the mystery

And I think that storybook love is a lie
More than a river you’ll cry
Oh on the day that the fantasy dies
Dreams lost
Telling the truth at all costs
Trying to unravel the knots
Finding yourself in your lover’s eyes
Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness to the mystery

Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness
Bearing the witness to the mystery
