lyrics

Well I have my eyes
I have my eyes on you
On my prize
And I tell you
I take it day to day.

And I try to try
To stay in the light of you
My shining night
And some days I win
Some days I lose.

Come down and meet your brother
Although the weight of the world is hovering
On his shoulders, on your shoulders
Heavy lies the breaking of the world…

And we know that, yeah we know that
Our hands have wrought our just rewards…

But I keep wandering home, keep wandering
I keep stumbling low, I roll with the blow.
And I’ll be back again for more…for sure
It don’t feel the same, don’t move me
I keep whispering, seldom listening,
But I keep wondering what you have to say…

Can you make me what you wanted? What you wanted me to be?
I would be what you wanted, what you saw in me.

Fear in the eyes. Holding tight to the
World on top of Atlas’ shoulders
Endlessly fighting men
I dreamt of you all.
And the world grew tired of all we’ve done
The Mother cried to see her sons
And a violent rain
Fell down to cleanse the soil.
And where the tears rest the garden grows,
Where once bare feet tread now rivers flow
And the dust becomes the mud becomes the loam

And I see and sense that it’s so complex
And I want so badly to find my place.
But left to my own, I’m only going down.

‘Cause I been slumbering long
Been stubborn, been wrong
I long to wake and take this
All Away, all away…
Would you take me?
Far away. Far away…

Would you form me in your hands like earthen clay?
Can you teach me a new song?
I’ll sing along
I’ll tell you what our father was like
Good gifts and voice a thundering
Don’t be low, you. He’s below you too.

Welcome inside.
Can’t you hear the trumpet sounding?
Ye dead Arise!
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
King Has arrived…
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
She’s shining bright…
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
Welcome inside
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
You make things right.
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
She’s shining bright.
Cant you hear the trumpet sounding?
Ye Dead Arise!
Can’t you hear the Trumpet Sounding?
