The Rising (The Voice Performance)

Can't see nothin' in front of me

Can't see nothin' coming up behind

I make my way through this darkness

Can't feel nothin' 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

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 ringin' filled the air

Was wearin' a cross of my callin'

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

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

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 mixed with mine

A dream of life comes to me

Like a catfish dancin' on the end of my line

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

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) Oh
