Lyrics

I won't die, won't bury, won't sink
'Cause love is the spirit I drink
I'll be free in the morning light
'Cause your touch is the medicine of life
There's a dance to this beat, let's shake
Every move, feel my body awake
There's a sound, you and me are one
And our home is the rhythm I'll drum
Is your soul in the desert?
Are your dreams in the sand?
Can you dance with the devil
Till he's off your back?
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Take my hand, let it set you free
Keep working on your destiny
There's healing in the air, get touched
Can you feel it 'cause the message is love?
Is your soul in the desert?
Are your dreams in the sand?
Can you dance with the devil
Till he's off your back?
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
'Cause these dry, dry bones
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Dry, dry bones
Rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise up
Gonna rise up, gonna rise
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones
Them bones, them bones, them dry bones
Them bones, them bones (Them dry bones)
Hey
(Dry, dry bones
Dry, dry bones)
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, rise
Rise, rise, hey
Oh-oh, rise up
Oh-oh, rise up
Oh-oh
Hey
