| Lyrics: | 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 |
