Rise Up - Valley Maker

Rise up

There was something left to tell you

Rise up

All will be made new

But there’s no clue

There is no vision

Only time now

Only time to listen

Rise up

Days in my wake

Rise up

Haze on my brain

Old as time now

The time that it takes

Just to witness

Just to hear you say

Rise up

I am swinging from the trees

Rise up

I am diving in the sea

Just to find you

To find just what I mean

In my only mind

Now as it turns on me

Oh, rise up

Lie down

All is forgiven

Lie down

Nothing left to witness

For the day is spent

But my mind is endless

Old as time

I’m numbered

I am always spinning

Oh, lie down

Lie down beside me

Nothing feels right

Quite like the warmth of your body

Oh, lie down

The night erasing

Crows in the rain

What did you build your nest in?

Go lie down

Rise up

God as my witness

Set my mind on the end

Jesus Christ visits

In a dream I guess

I was five years old

Mumbled little meanings

Doing as I’m told

Now rise up

And was I washed clean?

Brought me something

Spirit upon me

Oh, rise up

I know you love me

You tried to feed me but I was not hungry

Oh, rise up

Made my peace with the forest

Moments of lights are how I know the darkness

Oh, rise up

New day is breaking

I hold my lifeline

Giving and taking

Oh, rise up

My foolish nation

My fractured mind

No, I could not place it

Oh, rise up

Rise up

The end is nigh

Rise up

An eye for an eye

Do you see me now?

My only vision

Were you keeping count?

It’s all forgiven

The love I’ve found

Hold what I’m given

Will you lie me down?

Will you raise me again?

Oh, rise up
