I told my mother what troubled my heart.

I saw the worry as she took me in her arms.

I told the preacher and he looked at me.

I saw the rising that never let me be,

Oh, the rising…

The boy, the faith, the prayers, the hate.

From weak things, the great things are

Calling the nations put a price upon our heads.

Running from darkness and running to light.

Praying on our knees for one more day…

Every night, amid the rising.
