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 climbing, just me and some rope
No looking down now, we've got one way to go
My fingers are bloodied, down to the bone
My body's shaking 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
Rise

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

Ooh, the winds calm to a still
Face to face, I feel your love so real

You say child, of, mine
