text: Cant see nothin in front of me
  Cant see nothin coming up behind
  I make my way through this darkness
  I cant feel nothin but this chain that binds me
  Lost track of how far Ive gone
  How far Ive gone, how high Ive climbed
  On my backs a 60 pound stone
  On my shoulder a half mile line
  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
  Left the house this mornin
  Bells ringin filled the air
  Wearin the cross of my calling
  On wheels of fire I come rollin 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
  (Yeah, li-li-li-li-la-li-li-li-li-li
  La-la-li-li-li-la-la-li-li)
  Theres 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
  (Li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li
  La-la-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li)
  I see you Mary in the garden
  In the garden of a thousand sighs
  Theres holy pictures of our children
  Dancing 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
  Sky of blackness and sorrow 
  Sky of love, sky of tears 
  Sky of glory and sadness 
  Sky of mercy, sky of fear 
  Sky of memory and shadow 
  Your burnin winds fill my arms tonight
  Sky of longing and emptiness
  Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
  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
  (Yeah, ii-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li
  La-la-li-li-li-li-li-li-la-li-li
  La-la-li-li-li-li-li-li-la-li-li
  La-la-li-li-li-li-li-li-la-li-li)
  A dream of life
  A dream of life
  A dream of life
