Abraham Lyrics by Mark Erelli

0

O Abraham
How far the mighty we have fallen
How I pray you hear me calling
In the hour of despair
In the Promised Land
Where every promise has been broken
And every vote feels like a token
For a ride that goes nowhere

So rise up
Rise up
Rise up

O the words you spoke
Of a far more perfect union
Reaching out to the disillusioned
Still set our souls to sing
But what of hope
We need it now more than ever
And I keep listening for feathers
But I hear the flap of leathery wings

So rise up
Rise up
We've more in common than divides us
But we need someone to guide us
Through the sorrow and the shadows we have sown
O Abraham
Rise up from your marble throne

O Abraham
Gazing out over the fountain
Sitting silent as a mountain
Say it wasn't all in vain
Though I understand
Why another wise man won't come forward
When all the others were rewarded
With a bullet in the brain

So rise up
Rise up
Rise up
Rise up
We've more in common than divides us
But we need someone to guide us
For we've never been so lost and so alone
O Abraham
Rise up from your marble throne
O Abraham
Rise up, rise up
