Can't see nothin' in front of me Can't see nothin' coming up behind make my way through this darkness 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 lane Come on up for the rising Come on up, lay your hand in mine Come on up for the rising Come on up for the rising tonight Left the house this morning Bells were ringing and they filled the air Wearin' the cross of my calling On wheels of fire I come rolling 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 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 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 la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la I see 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 coming to me Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line Sky of blackness sky of sorrow sorrow Sky of loving, sky of tears Sky of glory and sadness Sky of mercy, sky of fear Sky of memory and sorrow Your burnin' wind fills my heart tonight Sky of longing and emptiness Sky of fullness and sky of blessed life Come on up for the rising Come on up, lay your hands in mine Lay your hand in mine, lay your hands in mine Come on up for the rising tonight la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la Sky of blackness, dream of light Dream of life dream of life dream of life
