BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - The Rising lyrics

rate me

Can't see nothin' in front of me<br>Can't see nothin' coming up behind<br>I make my way through this darkness<br>I can't feel nothing but this chain that binds me<br>Lost track of how far I've gone<br>How far I've gone, how high I've climbed<br>On my back's a sixty pound stone<br>On my shoulder a half mile of line<br><br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up, lay your hands in mine<br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up for the rising tonight<br><br>Left the house this morning<br>Bells ringing filled the air<br>Wearin' the cross of my calling<br>On wheels of fire I come rollin' down here<br><br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up, lay your hands in mine<br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up for the rising tonight<br><br>Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li<br><br>There's spirits above and behind me<br>Faces gone black, eyes burnin' bright<br>May their precious blood bind me<br>Lord, as I stand before your fiery light<br><br>Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li<br><br>I see you mary in the garden<br>In the garden of a thousand sighs<br>There's holy pictures of our children<br>Dancin' in a sky filled with light<br>May I feel your arms around me<br>May I feel your blood mix with mine<br>A dream of life comes to me<br>Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line<br><br>Sky of blackness and sorrow ( a dream of life)<br>Sky of love, sky of tears (a dream of life)<br>Sky of glory and sadness ( a dream of life)<br>Sky of mercy, sky of fear ( a dream of life)<br>Sky of memory and shadow ( a dream of life)<br>Your burnin' wind fills my arms tonight<br>Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life)<br>Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life<br><br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up, lay your hands in mine<br>Come on up for the rising<br>Come on up for the rising tonight<br><br>Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
