to be a witness

Ben Harper

Corcovado
parted the sky
and through the darkness
on earth he shined
crucified in stone
still his blood is my own
glory behold on my eyes
have seen, have seen

i am blessed
i am blessed
i am blessed to be a witness

some have flown away
and can't be here with us today
like the hills of my home
some have crumbled and now are gone
gather 'round for today won't come again
wont come again
i am blessed
blessed to be a witness

some much sorrow and pain
but still i will not live in vain
like a question never asked
i wisdom wasted on the past
or live by the grace of god, go i
go i

i am blessed
i am blessed
i am blessed
i am blessed to be a witness
