[Verse 1] I came in bent, boots full of dust Pocket full of worry, heart full of rust Mama said, “Son, keep your eyes on the dawn” So I held that word when the road went long [Verse 2] Down by the creek where the willow leans I heard that mercy in the middle of the reeds Old man sang like a freight train prayer Said, “If you keep on walking, He’ll meet you there” [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night can roar But it can’t hold me Oh, I feel that shore Calling through me [Chorus] Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us Lift me up, lift me up Heaven come dance through us (Heaven come dance through us) Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us [Verse 3] Stomp your feet on the hard red ground Shake that fear till it falls down Hands up high when the trouble comes We were made to sing till the lost come home [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the night can roar But it can’t hold me Oh, I feel that shore Calling through me [Chorus] Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us Lift me up, lift me up Heaven come dance through us (Heaven come dance through us) Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us [Bridge] When the valley folds And my strength runs thin I will call that name And the light rush in Oh-oh, oh-oh The stone rolls back Oh-oh, oh-oh We’re not going back [Final Chorus] Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us Lift me up, lift me up Heaven come dance through us (Heaven come dance through us) Lift me up, lift me up River of fire, carry us Lift me up, lift me up Heaven come dance through us
