A patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise
And over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise
But don't cross the river, not over there
There'll be a mystery revealed, I bet you dare
And if I am to seek this place ya'll can see
Whose chariot to follow so I can be free
At night the stars cry
I gaze upon a lake of backyard
And under these overpasses a towering mountain does rise
But don't cross the river, not over there
There'll be a mystery revealed you see we're meant to share
If I am to seek this place ya'll can see
Whose chariot to follow so I can be free
Oh no, here we are once again
Oh no, here we are again
My mamma told me don't go cross that river
Because you might not make it back
The beast gonna eat your heart
She said, don't go out there
Stay upon your track
This money has torn my family apart and I cannot buy it back
So of course I build my boat, and I was half upon my way
When I got to the other side, the water come rushing down
Wash me away
Chariot, whose chariot, whose chariot, chariot
Whose chariot, whose chariot, chariot
Chariot, whose chariot, chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Whose chariot take me home
Take me home
Oh no, you said I'm out that door again
I left my house, my money, and my dearest friend
I'm not coming back, jack, across the river
Got a little bit of business that I'm doing today
Ya'll don't feel me, I don't think you could
I built my life out a stack of wood
I've been walking cross the river today
But whose chariot take me home
Take me home
Oh
Whose chariot
Take me home
When four horsemen come my way
I'll be ready to go
No question at all
I'll be ready to go
For me
Hallelujah, home
Who chariot gotta, will you take me
Who chariot please, will you take me
Who chariot gotta, will you take me
Who chariot please, will you bring me
Who chariot gotta, will you take me
Who chariot please, pick me up and bring me
Who chariot come and get me
Who chariot take me home
Take me home
Oh
