Risin' Up

On my tango, jingle, jangle
Everyone's looking for an angle
When I can't find what I'm looking for
I put on my boots and head out the door

I go down to the river's edge
I'm risin' up
I walk deep through the holy water
Risin' up

I put one foot in front of the other
Nothing's gonna keep me down
I'm risin' up
Risin' up

I had a dream I was walkin' by a church
The Mississippi sun was settin'
Walked inside and saw a man singing to the Lord
Watched him head on up to heaven

I go down to the river's edge
I'm risin' up
I walk deep through the holy water
Risin' up

I put one foot in front of the other
Nothing's gonna keep me down
I'm risin' up, whoa
Risin' up
Keep on risin'

Only Lord can lead the way
Lead us to a brighter day
When it comes down to push or shove
I dig down deep and look up above

I go down to the river's edge
I'm risin' up
I walk deep through the holy water
Risin' up

I put one foot in front of the other
Nothing's gonna keep me down
I'm risin' up
I'm risin' up

Gonna keep risin' up, y'all
Nothing's gonna keep me down
I'm gonna rise up
Lord
Every day
Every day
Oh, yeah

Gonna keep on risin'
Risin' up
Oh, yeah
