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
I was 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

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 li
Li li li li li li li li li
Li li li li li li li li li li

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
Comes to me
Like a catfish dancin'
On the end of my line
Sky of blackness and sorrow
Sky of love sky of tears
Sky of glory and sadness
Sky of mercy sky of fear
Sky of memory and shadow
Your burnin' wind
Fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness
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
