go bruce go...
Can't see nothin' in front of me
Can't see nothin' coming up behind
I make my way through this darkness
I 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 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
Wearin' the cross of my calling
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
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li
There's spirits above and behind me
Faces gone black, eyes burnin' 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
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 mix with mine
A dream of life comes to me
Like a catfish dancin' 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 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
Li,li, li,li,li,li, li,li,li

forgive my ignorance, but what is the 'sixty pound stone' he refers to in the first verse?

Maybe, it refers to a fireman with his equipment in the tower....

Why the fuck are we arguing about politics? Enjoy the music. Its powerful. And tells about meaningful things unlike the majority of what we here today. This song is all about 9/11 and the fireman who went in and all of that. I dont see why we argue about trivial shit. Its a universal message.

The Boss is one of the greatest musicians to have ever existed. In my opinion, this song is a testament to the American spirit and the strength we have as a nation.
This is one of the greatest songs ever written.

You know this song is about a man seeing his family who lost his life in the twin towers. That is the theme for this release..Fuck your new age shit!!!, this is BRUCE talking about REAL things that matter...

The Rising is about one of the most horrible acts of terrorism ever and Bruce's message throughout the album is about the sadness and the hope. He always challenges us to think about the American reality versus the American dream. Like he says,,,what's the distance between the two?? Sky of Blessed light...just put our hands together.

To this day I can hardly even hear this song without tearing up. It can be about real things and about spiritual things all at once -- That's what Bruce is best at. He can hit a note that resonates with all of us.

Yeah! it's like the windows CD's, if you play it backwards you hear a satanic song, but if you play it normally is even worst: IT INSTALLS WINDOWS!!!
BTW, were you drunk or something when you posted that coment?
