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

  • 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.

  • I agree....every song of The Rising has a universal message!! Great Bruce!

  • @wolfett 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.

  • @Monkeychild41 This song has a great meaning...

  • Anyone paying attention to the Luciferian lyrics?

  • What???

  • @broncobra let your mom remember her husband.

  • R.I.P. Clarence...

  • @broncobra Rehumanize yourself man! Get back to planet earth! We get it, don't you get it?

  • oh, what a pretty song! Let's clap and jump for joy! Ha Ha What a happy song! lol come on everybody. Let's celebrate! Party! ha ha lol.

  • @bottleimp007 you better jump bitch, and pray you don't mmess up the newscasters suit. You WILL splat. Listen to the documentary and listen in the background. All that slamming you hear is bodies hitting terra firmma. It's sickening. Most people don't even know what all that slamming is. It's us. It's the USA. Would you jump, or would you burn?

  • @john9944 I am a Bruce fan. Sorry to say, most people don't have a clue and don't care.I realize it's a 9-11 tribute. 97% of people (general population) don't. that's a rough estimate.People are stupider, fatter and more ignorant than you give them credit for. If we were smarter, we wouldn't listen to Bruce, We wouold be republicans. Bruce loves the obama cock. as a few dip shits here also. go on - suck it. Just don't take my tax dollars - fuktards. GET IT?

  • @broncobra What planet are you from? Don't you think that Bruce's fans listen to the words. The whole album is a tribute to 9-11. What is the deal with all the exact percentages? Do you have some specialinsight into Bruce's crowd? You obviously have great intellect and insight. Why don't you take it elsewhere. You need to read the Wikipedia article on this album. It might give you some needed perspective. This album won a Grammy for its message. This was the title song.

  • @CrossWord316 WTF does this mean.
