Johnny Clegg
Witness
[Verse 1]
Inside the rain
I saw you talkin' to him
Like a play
I saw it all unfolding

Then it happened
I couldn't hide my surprise
I'm holding my breath now
I'm trapped by my eyes

[Chorus]
And I'm trapped inside
By these things that I've seen
There's another life that
I know could have been

I never asked to be part of this
Wrong place, wrong time to witness
Free me now
Keeps me down

[Verse 2]
I saw him fall to the ground
I saw you do it
At the edge of the town
My life has changed
And though I love you so
I can't share your chains
And I have to go

[Chorus]
And I'm trapped inside
By these things that I've seen
There's another life that
I know could have been

I never asked to be part of this
Wrong place, wrong time to witness
Free me now
Keeps me down
Free me now
Keepin' me down

[Bridge]
That's your voice
On the phone
You don't hear
The pain I own

Walk away
Let me go
This fallen sky
Free my soul
[Chorus]
And I'm trapped inside
By these things that I've seen
There's another life that
I know could have been

I never asked to be part of this
Wrong place, wrong time to witness
Free me now
Keeps me down
Free me now
Keepin' me down

[Outro]
Keepin' me down
Free me now
Keepin' me down
