THE WITNESS © 1996 K. Dykes
It was a cool September morning, when I saw her by the sea
She had long dark hair and a flowered dress
And she held onto the bible in her hands
You know the mood outside was peaceful and
I noticed, there was no one else around
So, I held back all of my intentions
And quickly made my place upon the ground
Oh, I just watched her from a distance
Wondering how solitude could be anybody?s friend
How was I to know I would become
The witness, upon her journey?s end?
How does anyone find the answers anymore
Why is it so hard to find a friend
You know this old world has gone to peaces
We need the whole human race to help it mend
These are my thoughts my inspirations
In hopes that someday we may all understand
Just leave behind your judgments, your convictions
And you will find it?s so much easier to stand
No I never got up to find her
That woman I saw down by the sea
I watched the sun set on the horizon
And thought that this was somehow meant to be
You know late at night I think of her
And I wonder what took her smile away
All in all I hope it?s safe to say
Though her life had ended mine began that day
