Come a little closer it´s a feeling that I can´t deny
  I was weak, but I never thought I´d speak about the darker side
  Is that a tent? I could repent upon the side of the road
  But, I kept on going yeah I headed for another load
  I get up from the ground in the middle of the evening
  Up from the ground in the middle of the night
  Oh, I testify
  
  I was laid upon the grave by a preacher´s hand I cannot lie
  And, I forsake the many vows I made to be with you tonight
  Could you be the salvation cause I never felt like this before
  And, could you lend me your hand because I´m falling back on the floor
  
  I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
  Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
  Up from the ground in the middle of the night
  Oh, I testify
  
  On a road outside of nowhere, in the middle of the night
  Well I guess I hit rock bottom and the dawn was not in sight
  And a Tempest made of fire, onset the sky aglow
  And a sweet young thing called out my name
  And this is how it goes, she says….
  “Go boy, can you hear them? Are you falling through the cracks in your eyes?”
  And I got down on my knees
  
  I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
  Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
  Up from the ground and I´m falling back down
  Up from the ground and I testify
  
  Every cut that heals reveals a scar that you can never hope to hide
  All the pain that you restrain keeps buildings up deep inside
  If you think you´re above it then it´s you my friend that I implore
  You´ve got to walk before you run
  See the night before dawn
  Before you pull yourself off the floor
  
  I get up from the ground in the middle of the morning
  Up from the ground in the middle of the evening
  Up from the ground in the middle of the night
  Oh, I testify
