River Is Rising

The rain is falling, falling, and the river is rising
The rain is falling, falling, and the pressure is climbing
The rain is falling, falling, and the river is rising

Hallelujah chorus and a big amen
Talking up a city of sinking sand
Got you eating right from their hands
They take you for a fool

Wolves in woolen jackets wanna watch you drown
Devil in the detail spins you 'round
Now your whole world's upside down
They're doing what they do, oh you know

The rain is falling, falling, and the river is rising
The rain is falling, falling, and the pressure is climbing
The rain is falling, falling, and the river is high, you got to
Run for the rock 'cause your house is getting carried away

Following the leader, now you're spitting lies
Serving up excuses and alibis
Praising pride when it prophesies
But you can't hide the truth

Speak it in the darkness, it'll come to light
Justice like a river is on the rise
Gotta build while you have the time
Line upon line upon line after line, you know

The rain is falling, falling, and the river is rising
The rain is falling, falling, and the pressure is climbing
The rain is falling, falling, and the river is high, you got to
Run for the rock 'cause your house is getting carried away
