i'm uncertain where i stand
should i run to you like a broken man
my cap in my left hand my heart in my right
it seems to me
that the end's in sight
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and i can't see the reason nor the rhyme
in this testing time
in september the storm clouds gathered
now the ill winds are howling a-fowling the air
with a lump in my throat
a tear in my eye
i'd give anything to put paid to this lie
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and i can't see the reason nor the rhyme
in this testing time
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and i can't see the reason nor the rhyme
in this testing time
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and i can't see the reason nor the rhyme
in this testing time
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and i can't see the reason nor the rhyme
in this testing time
it's a testing time
yes it's a testing time
and we're laying our lives on the line
in this testing time
