The Rising Video (MV)

Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
Make my way through this darkness
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 lane

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hand in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight

Left the house this morning
Bells were ringing and they filled the air
Wearin' the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire I come rolling 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

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

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 coming to me
Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line

Sky of blackness sky of sorrow sorrow
Sky of loving, sky of tears
Sky of glory and sadness
Sky of mercy, sky of fear
Sky of memory and sorrow
Your burnin' wind fills my heart tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness
Sky of fullness and sky of blessed life

Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Lay your hand in mine, lay your hands in mine
Come on up for the rising tonight

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la

Sky of blackness, dream of light
Dream of life
Dream of life
Dream of life
