As we approach fair weather
As we entertain our maiden endeavor
'Round us still the chorus beats
The schools, the streets
There's always danger there

For men will divest
Only to a certain point
For each divines their own experience
And to our own
We must attest

They say authority's essential
They are insincere
They say discipline is fundamental
You will perservere
And when you've lost your fear
Then that's when you must

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Because you ain't got time
Just keep on strivin', testifyin'

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Because you ain't got time
Just keep on strivin', testifyin'

As you pack the tools of past illusions
You have lost your nerve
Set them near you, lest they cause confusion
Keep some in reserve
To get what you deserve
You're gonna have to

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Because you ain't got time
Just keep on strivin', testifyin'

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Because you ain't got time
Just keep on strivin', testifyin'

Mama, you got me my corduroy jeans
"Do your own laundry if you want them clean"
Mama, the workload they're puttin' me through
"Like I don't know"

Mama, you got me history books
"Yeah, and I thought me I'd take me a look"
But doesn't matter what you do or say
Because it ain't my history anyway

Feast or famine, you're cryin' at the disco
You have lost your way
The peace they were plannin' died in San Francisco
Floating on the bay
Just close your eyes and pray
Then stand up straight and

Testify
Raise your hands up to the sky
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Because you ain't got time
Just keep on strivin', testifyin'


Mirror lyrics:

Just keep on strivin', testifyin'
Because you ain't got time
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Raise your hands up to the sky
Testify

Then stand up straight and
Just close your eyes and pray
Floating on the bay
The peace they were plannin' died in San Francisco
You have lost your way
Feast or famine, you're cryin' at the disco

Because it ain't my history anyway
But doesn't matter what you do or say
"Yeah, and I thought me I'd take me a look"
Mama, you got me history books

"Like I don't know"
Mama, the workload they're puttin' me through
"Do your own laundry if you want them clean"
Mama, you got me my corduroy jeans

Just keep on strivin', testifyin'
Because you ain't got time
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Raise your hands up to the sky
Testify

Just keep on strivin', testifyin'
Because you ain't got time
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Raise your hands up to the sky
Testify

You're gonna have to
To get what you deserve
Keep some in reserve
Set them near you, lest they cause confusion
You have lost your nerve
As you pack the tools of past illusions

Just keep on strivin', testifyin'
Because you ain't got time
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Raise your hands up to the sky
Testify

Just keep on strivin', testifyin'
Because you ain't got time
Clouds are comin' closer, but a-don't you cry
Raise your hands up to the sky
Testify

Then that's when you must
And when you've lost your fear
You will perservere
They say discipline is fundamental
They are insincere
They say authority's essential

We must attest
And to our own
For each divines their own experience
Only to a certain point
For men will divest

There's always danger there
The schools, the streets
'Round us still the chorus beats
As we entertain our maiden endeavor
As we approach fair weather
