Come On Up For The Rising

can't see nothing
in front of me
can't see nothing
coming up behind
i make my way
through this darkness
i can't feel nothing
but this chain
that binds me
lost track of
how far i've gone
how far i've gone
how high i've climbed
on my back's
a sixty pound stone
on my shoulder
a half mile line
come on up for the rising
come on up lay your hands in mine
come on up for the rising
come on up for the rising tonight

tw sez:
Thirty-nine years ago today
I took a bullet to the chest
and died on an operating table.
Never give up.
