Lyrics
0:01Can't see nothin' in front of me
0:05Can't see nothin' coming up behind
0:09I make my way through this darkness
0:13I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me
0:18Lost track of how far I've gone
0:22How far I've gone how high I've climbed
0:27On my back's a sixty pound stone
0:31On my shoulder a half mile of line
0:35Come on up for the rising
0:39Come on up lay your hands in mine
0:44Come on up for the rising
0:48Come on up for the rising tonight
0:52Left the house this morning
0:57Bells ringing filled the air
1:01Wearin' the cross of my calling
1:05On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here
1:10Come on up for the rising
1:14Come on up lay your hands in mine
1:19Come on up for the rising
1:23Come on up for the rising tonight
1:27Li li li li li li li li li
2:00There's spirits above and behind me
2:04Faces gone black eyes burnin' bright
2:09May their precious blood bind me
2:12Lord as I stand before your fiery light
2:17Li li li li li li li li li
2:35I see you Mary in the garden
2:40In the garden of a thousand sighs
2:44There's holy pictures of our children
2:48Dancin' in a sky filled with light
2:53May I feel your arms around me
2:57May I feel your blood mix with mine
3:01A dream of life comes to me
3:05Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line
3:10Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)
3:14Sky of love sky of tears (a dream of life)
3:19Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)
3:23Sky of mercy sky of fear ( a dream of life)
3:28Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)
3:32Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
3:36Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)
3:40Sky of fullness sky of blessed life
3:45Come on up for the rising
3:49Come on up lay your hands in mine
3:53Come on up for the rising
3:57Come on up for the rising tonight
4:02Li li li li li li li li li
