[Angels] Jesus, it's years we've been climbing your mountain Yes it's years we've been walking your road Lord, it's been years, far too many for counting With a lifetime of sin as our load When will we rise up? And lay down our burden Won't you tell me how long must we roll? When will we rise up and lay down that burden Tell me when will you gather us home?
[Jonas - spoken] Good evening, New York! Thank you for joining us on this Our revival's third and final glorious night I am the reverend Jonas Nightingale And I know we've got a house full of sinners tonight You sir, you're a sinner Ma'am, you're sin on a stick And you? You're wondering if you can leave at intermission And commit even more sin You're all sinners Each and every one of you But you can be saved
Tell me what do you do When the world's a mess And your life's in flux Because the economy sucks And you're stuck way down in the depths of dispair
[Angels - Sung] Rise up!
And what do you do when you're feeling the stress And you've run out of hope and you just can't cope And you're pretty damn sure you ain't got a prayer
[Angels - Sung] Rise up! [Jonas - Sung] See The worse your troubles get The deeper you feel you're sinking The more your one sure bet is he who reigns on high Because at your lowest low You've only got one place to go
[Angels] Rise up!
[Jonas - spoken] I don't blame you for lacking hope But if you want to believe - And I believe you do - Then take your hands off your nieghbor's lap Lift them high 'cause we're going to make a joyful noise
[Jonas-sung] Singing that'll make the rafters rock Stories that'll make your soul unlock Even if you think it's all a crock You'll rise up, you doubting thomases
Music that'll wipe away your blues Preaching that you'll find you can't refuse Though you're mostly athiests and jews You'll rise up and give unto the lord
[Jonas - spoken] Now you may not know it But there is a reason you came here tonight You're at a crossroads in life I know, because it was only a year ago That I myself stood at just such a rubicon Out of money Out of options In a broken down bus Right where the road to perdition hits the highway to nowhere About 100 miles south of Topeka Right outside a little town called..
Brother Amen?
[Brother Amen] Padre? [Jonas] Where are we now? [Brother Amen] Just outside of Sweetwater [Jonas] Then Sweetwater is where we will pitch our tent [Angel] Sam! Talk him down! [Sam] Jonas, look around. These people, they've got nothing [Jonas] Exactly
Fellas that have been laid off at the plants Farmers who have lost their federal grants All of them are desperate for a chance to rise up!
[Angel] Rev! We need a big score! [Amen] There's nothing here but dust! [Jonas] That's why it's perfect!
Men who've got no way to pay the rent Wives who wonder where their savings went Watch them offer up their last red cent to rise up!
[Sam] Jonas, it's a dying town, in a middle of a drought! [Jonas] I got this These folks are stone cold out of luck And you know what they're hoping That if they maybe throw the Lord a buck He'll come and save their shirts They'll be driving in from miles around With hearts and wallets open We'll make those suckers rise up They'll give until it hurts
Anyone got a better idea? [Cast] No [Jonas] Good! Then unload the bus, set up the tent And start spreading the word
Tell them I can set their children straight Tell them I can help keep off the weight Tell them that tonight right here at eight They'll rise up and pass the plate around
Tell them I can make their conscious clear Tell them I can make the rain appear You tell them anything they need to hear To rise up, rise up, and then we'll bleed them dry
[Cast] Jesus, it's been years we've been climbing your mountain It's been years we've been walking your road (Rise up, rise up!) Lord it's been years, far too many for counting With a lifetime of sin as our load But we will rise up And open up our hearts and pray to you Rise up and say the words we long to say to you Rise up and sing out each and every day to you
[Jonas] Help the sinful find their way to you If they've got cold cash to pay to you
[Angel] Bass!
Wait a minute! If you want to rise up you have got to go higher (higher!) Higher (higher!) higher (highter!) [Amen] I can't hear you, let me hear you now HIgher (higher!) higher (higher!) [Angel] Let's go up just a little bit higher (higher!) Higher (higher!) higher (higher!) We don't need need no music
[Cast] Rise up And dedicate our every thing to you Rise up And offer all that we can pay to you Rise up And give whatever we can pay to you Lift our voices to the skies, until that happy day [Jonas] Come on, people Rise up!
[Jonas] Now let's get out there and save some god damn souls!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
