Witness by Macy Gray Lyrics
I pray as I sit and roll
That I still look good when I get old
I hate to admit it
But I hope you stay, you stay beautiful
And I see how you're cryin'
I see how much you get high
All your explosions and trials and I love you
Wish I could make you rise up
Turn your tears to wine
And baby glorify you, put it all behind you
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
No place for the cynical
You'll fit right in if you're criminal
So say what you're feelin'
Show me, show me all your rituals
And I see how you're cryin'
I see how much you get high
All your explosions and trials and I love you
Wish I could make you rise up
Turn your tears to wine
And baby glorify you, put it all behind you
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Save us, like you promised to
Hey, no disrespect but I would fix it if I was you
Wish I could read your mind
We'd all be happy all the time
If the choice was mine, if the choice was mine
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
That I still look good when I get old
I hate to admit it
But I hope you stay, you stay beautiful
And I see how you're cryin'
I see how much you get high
All your explosions and trials and I love you
Wish I could make you rise up
Turn your tears to wine
And baby glorify you, put it all behind you
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
No place for the cynical
You'll fit right in if you're criminal
So say what you're feelin'
Show me, show me all your rituals
And I see how you're cryin'
I see how much you get high
All your explosions and trials and I love you
Wish I could make you rise up
Turn your tears to wine
And baby glorify you, put it all behind you
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
Save us, like you promised to
Hey, no disrespect but I would fix it if I was you
Wish I could read your mind
We'd all be happy all the time
If the choice was mine, if the choice was mine
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would make sure to fix it
Can't believe we're in this
How I wish I was Jesus
I would know how to fix it
Can I get a witness?
Can I get a witness?
