Josh Warshawsky - Arise Lyrics

Look straight ahead, my son, look straight ahead
As you overflow your cup you just remember what I said
Like a bloodstained multicolored coat a signpost dipped in red
Heed my call

Guard your soul, your heart inside your chest
The wicked lie and wait in darkness, they give you no rest
How devious and cursed, is your mind up to the test?
You will not fall

You will walk and not break stride
You will not stumble when you ride
Let the stranger be your guide in how to love
Lift them up, heed their cries
Do not be wise in your own eyes
Let the truth defeat the lies and come to light... and come to light

When you spread your hands in prayer
Do not expect to hear an answer when there's smoke still in the air
Your hands are full of blood and still you talk of what is fair?
We know not all...

Wash your hands, stop doing wrong
Learn to do right, and come together, we have waited far too long
Arise, it's time, seek justice, for together we are strong
We will not fall

I can hear the bells ringing
I can hear their voices singing
I can hear their feet marching
I can hear their hearts drumming
I can hear the people praying
Halleluyah!
