Lyrics
Witness
© 2021 Susan Anders/Zanna Songs
I watch bombs thrash the beach at Normandy
I walk the camps where evil swept through
Someone must report from the edges
People just like us live there, so I do
Girls in breadlines ashamed but hungry
Sad-eyed children in burned out homes
Wish I could give them all food and shelter
But I can make sure their story’s known
Witness, witness
I will be their witness, witness
I’ll let no one miss this, miss this
I will be their witness
My man loves my sharp and truthful tongue
My man loves my spark and drive
But my man wants me back home in his bed
He can’t understand this is my life
Witness, witness
I will be their witness, witness
I’ll let no one miss this, miss this
I will be their witness
‘Cause love burns fast and bright
But this work lasts a lifetime
Witness, witness
I will be their witness, witness
If I cannot fix this, fix this
I will be their
Witness, witness
I’ll let no one miss this, miss this
I will never quit this, quit this
I will be their witness
