Song Lyrics:
[Robbie Robertson = Normal, Bono = Bold]
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You’ve got nothing to lose – but your chains
Look over yonder, Apollo at a distance
You can hear his music if you listen to the wind
(blow)
I want to be there – I want to be right there
I want to see it with my own eyes
Bear witness, I’m wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I’ve held the broken dream
In my soul, I’m howling at the moon
Testimony / Whoa-ah
Testimony / Whoa-ah
Declare yourself, I will testify
Testimony / Whoa-ah
Testimony / Whoa-ah
State the truth, I will testify
I had a revelation like runaway horses
Took to the road with a carnival show (roll on)
Those golden days on Smokey Mountain (lord)
Playing guitar in a one man band (that’s right)
Bear witness, I’m howling at the moon
Come bear witness, I’ve danced among
the ruins
In these shoes, I’ve walked a crooked mile
All my life I been searching for the nightbird
Testimony, testimony
Declare yourself – I will testify
Testimony / Ah-ha
Testimony / Whoa-ah
Speak the truth, I will testify
Are you ready to take the heat
Are you ready to blow the steam
Are you ready to bag the street
You got nothing to lose – but your chains
For forty days and forty nights
I come across the desert
Apollo right by my side (rave on)
Bear witness, I’m wailing like the wind
Come bear witness, the half-breed rides again
In these hands, I’ve held the broken dream
In my soul, I’m howling at the moon
Testimony, testimony (tell them)
Declare yourself – I will testify
Testimony (oh oh), testimony
Speak the truth, I will testify
Testimony, testimony / Mmm this is my testimony
I will testify
Testimony ah ha
Testimony whoa ha
Speak the truth
I will testify
