Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' comin' up behind
Make my way through the 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, half mile of line
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I see you 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
[Verse 5]
Sky of blackness and sorrow (A dream of life)
Sky of love, sky of tears (A dream of life)
Sky of glory and sadness (A dream of life)
Sky of mercy, sky of fear (A dream of life)
Sky of memory and shadow (A dream of life)
Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness (A dream of life)
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
Come on up for the rising
Come on up
Come on up for the rising
Come on up
