David Bazan - Bearing Witness lyrics
[David Bazan - Bearing Witness lyrics]
I clung to miracles I have not seen
From ancient autographs I cannot read
Though I've repented I'm still
Tempted I admit
But, it's not what bearing witness is
To full of fear and prophecy to see
The revelation right in front of me
So sick and tired of trying
To make the pieces fit
Cause it's not what bearing witness is
When the gap between what I hoped would be
And what is makes me weep for my kids
I take a cleansing breath
And make a positive confession
But is that what bearing witness is?
Though it may alienate your family
And blur the lines of your identity
Let go of what you know
And honor what exists
Son, that's what bearing witness is
Daughter, that's what bearing witness is
From ancient autographs I cannot read
Though I've repented I'm still
Tempted I admit
But, it's not what bearing witness is
To full of fear and prophecy to see
The revelation right in front of me
So sick and tired of trying
To make the pieces fit
Cause it's not what bearing witness is
When the gap between what I hoped would be
And what is makes me weep for my kids
I take a cleansing breath
And make a positive confession
But is that what bearing witness is?
Though it may alienate your family
And blur the lines of your identity
Let go of what you know
And honor what exists
Son, that's what bearing witness is
Daughter, that's what bearing witness is
