The Rising Lyrics by Nancy Wilson (Heart)

You and Me

2020

[Verse 1]
Can't see nothing in front of me
Can't see nothing coming up behind
Make my way through this darkness
Can't feel nothing 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 a mile of line
[Chorus]
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hand in mine
Come on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
[Verse 2]
Left the house this morning
Bells were ringing and they filled the air
Wearing the cross of my calling
On wheels of fire, I come rolling down here
[Chorus]
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Comе on up for the rising
Come on up for the rising tonight
[Post-Chorus]
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 la
[Bridge]
Spirits abovе and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burning bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord, as I stand before your fiery light
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 la
[Verse 3]
I see Mary in the garden
In the garden of a thousand sighs
There's holy pictures of our children
Dancing in a sky filled with light
May I feel your arms around me
May I feel your blood mixed with mine
Dream of life coming to me
Like a catfish dancing on the end of my line
[Verse 4]
Sky of blackness, sky of sorrow
Sky of love and sky of tears
Sky of glory and sadness
Sky of mercy, sky of fear
Sky of memory and sorrow
Your burning wind fills my heart tonight
Sky of longing and emptiness
Sky of fullness, sky of blessed life
[Chorus]
Come on up for the rising
Come on up, lay your hands in mine
Lay your hand in mine, lay your hand in mine
Come on up for the rising tonight
[Post-Chorus]
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 la
[Outro]
Sky of blackness, dream of life
Dream of life
Dream of life
Dream of life
