Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Bruce Springsteen - The rising ------------------------------------------ Canīt see nothinī in front of me Canīt see nothinī coming up behind I make my way through this darkness I canīt feel nothing but this chain that binds me Lost track of how far Iīve gone How far Iīve gone, how high Iīve climbed On my backīs a sixty pound stone On my shoulder a half mile of 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 morning Bells ringing filled the air Wearinī the cross of my calling On wheels of fire I come rollinī 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 Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li Thereīs spirits above and behind me Faces gone black, eyes burninī bright May their precious blood bind me Lord, as I stand before your fiery light Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li I see you Mary in the garden In the garden of a thousand sighs Thereīs holy pictures of our children Dancinī 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 dancinī on the end of my line 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 burninī wind fills my arms tonight Sky of longing and emptiness (a dream of life) 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 Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
