The Rising |
|
The Rising |
|
Can't see nothin' in front of me |
|
Can't see nothin' coming up behind |
|
I make my way through this darkness |
|
I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me |
|
Lost track of how far I've gone |
|
How far I've gone, how high I've climbed |
|
On my back's a sixty pound stone |
|
On my shoulder a half mile of line |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up, lay your hands in mine |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up for the rising tonight |
|
Left the house this morning |
|
Bells ringing filled the air |
|
Wearin' the cross of my calling |
|
On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up, lay your hands in mine |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up for the rising tonight |
|
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li |
|
There's spirits above and behind me |
|
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright |
|
May their precious blood bind me |
|
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light |
|
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li |
|
I see you Mary in the garden |
|
In the garden of a thousand sighs |
|
There's holy pictures of our children |
|
Dancin' in a sky filled with light |
|
May I feel your arms around me |
|
May I feel your blood mix with mine |
|
A dream of life comes to me |
|
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line |
|
Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life) |
|
Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life) |
|
Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life) |
|
Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life) |
|
Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life) |
|
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight |
|
Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life) |
|
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up, lay your hands in mine |
|
Come on up for the rising |
|
Come on up for the rising tonight |
|
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li |
