Lyrics

Sun comes through my window
Feels good on my face
Wakes me from my slumber
Circles round to find my time and place

All the days that have gone by
Sleeping there right by your side
All the days still to come
Promises for everyone
Lay waiting just outside the door
You search for more and now it's time to Rise

Caught up in a chain that's never gonna end
Never gonna break
But it just might bend
When you rise

We sleep by the river
When we lay down and close our eyes
And when the Big Flood comes again
The overflow will catch us
And we will Rise

Caught up in the middle of a cold rip-tide
Down on the bottom you're blinded
Caught up in the undertow looking for a sign
This time you better find it
If you wanna Rise

This life is sweet
But it won't last forever
You pull the days together
You hold them down
But someday they must Rise

Caught up in a hymn full of pleasure and pain
The whole congregation is waiting
Standing outside in the pouring rain
I can hear the preacher wailing:

Rise !
Stand up on your feet
Raise your hands to the Lord
And if you don't believe
Just stand there any way!
Feel this moment
Feel it fade away
Rise…
