Lyrics of Lost and Profound – Witness
I’ve witnessed pain I’ve witnessed struggle I’ve witnessed death by degrees as we stumbled Humble Lost in all that was left of love’s remains
Now I need your witness, I need your voice I need the truth that you speak to get me off my knees I need your faith in the peace you’re seeking I’ve witnessed the end, I’ve witnessed fully I’ve witnessed mercy
I’ve witnessed pity I’ve shrunk like a flower from the sun just to keep on living And I need your light In all of your glory To steal away from the darkened sky and head back to the living
And I need your witness, I need your vision I need the truth that you seek to get me off my knees And I need your faith in the peace you speak I’ve witnessed the end, I’ve witnessed fully I’ve witnessed the end, I’ve witnessed fully Where are you hiding? Where are you hiding? Where are you hiding now?

Lyrics of Todd Adelman – This Rounds On Me
The weight that you carry, it may make you crack We are what we are, and we lack what we lack Over the hill where the green grass is growin’ We’ll bury the hatchet and chew on the bone
Brother to brother we must make amends Sooner or later we all fall again Together we stumble through darkness and light I’m singing for you as you sing for your life
This round’s on me for whatever we are This round’s on me, belly up to the bar Lay down your worries, get ‘em off of your mind This round’s on me, you can get me next time
When you can’t run away or out-run the ghost You know I’ll be there when you’re needing it most When that slip sliding wagon comes rolling on home On it or off it, you’re never alone
This round’s on me for whatever we are This round’s on me, man we made it this far Lay down your worries, get ‘em off of your mind This round’s on me, you can get me next time
There’s a place in the distance, a place that we know We don’t need a ticket to get into the show The waitress brings water in her angel disguise This close to heaven, we ain’t dying tonight This close to heaven, we ain’t dying tonight
This round’s on me wherever you are This round’s on me, a sky full of stars Lay down your worries, leave ‘em behind This round’s on me, tonight we ride This rounds on me, I know you’ll get me next time
