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 line
|
|
Come on up for the rising
|
Com 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
|
|
Spirits above and behind me
|
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
|
May their precious blood forever 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 the 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 (a dream of 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
