lyrics
Verse 1:
See myself ride upon this long road
Coming through the dust in the air, where should I go?
Until I find myself, I judge no one else
Til I wake up for real, I have no story to tell
So I pick mysle fup again, then I lend a hand to a friend
No longer can I pretend there is no light ahead, no, no
And I believe, I believe, I believe, and so we sing
Chorus:
Through this world afar we rise, rise above into the light
Who in this world could heal the blind, rise above into the light
Verse 2:
Grasping for something concrete, struggling for a place to be
Questioning is God asleep? Letting go into the flow
Riding waves it’s coming soon, oscillating with the moon
Gravitating to yourself, raise your head up, sing aloud!
