Rise

I saw a mountain, just past the field
Where I was runnin' and runnin' and runnin' so free
Great walls of granite, more solid than steel
I thought to myself, there's no getting over this hill

Mmm, the winds they change
I can hear, you in the distance
You say: Child of mine
Rise

I started climbin', just me and some rope
No lookin' down now we've got one way to go
My fingers are bloodied, down to the bone
And my body's shakin' and I'm losin' hold

Mmm, the winds they change
I can hear, you call to me again
You say: Child of mine
Rise, rise

I'm near the peak, so close I can feel
But the air's thinning out now and I'm barely breathin'
I'm losing vision, as the Sun's going down
I'm giving up, won't someone carry me now?

Mmm, the winds they change
I can hear, your voice so perfect
You say: Child of mine
Rise, rise, rise

The planets feel closer, the stars seem aligned
The promise is better than what I'm leavin' behind
I'm in the refuge, of your holy hand
And here at the top of this rock I will stand

Mmm, the winds calm to a still
Face to face, I feel your love so real
You say: Child of mine
