Lead Me On

Shoulder to the wheel

For someone else's selfish gain

Here there is no choosing

Working the clay

Wearing their anger like a ball and chain

Fire in the field

Underneath the blazing Sun

But soon the Sun was faded

And freedom was a song

I heard them singing when the day was done

Singing to the Holy One

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead on

Waiting for the train

Labeled with a golden star

Heavy hearted boarding

Whispers in the dark

Where are we going, is it very far?

Bitter cold terrain

Echoes of a slamming door

In chambers made for sleeping forever

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar

Crying to the Lord

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead on

Man hurts man

Time and time, time again

And we drown in the wake of our power

Somebody tell me why

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead on

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs

Into your keeping, oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, oh, lead on

Lead me on

Lean on me

Lead me on, lead me on

Lead on, lead on

It's the comfort I'm seeking

Lead me on

Lean on me

Lead me on

Lean on me
