Long Time Risin'
A tenebrous sky filling in the east
The west falling into shadows deep
On the road, where I’ve been a long time riding

The moon casts its spell as the night lingers on
Lending its light to me till dawn
And the sun took a long time risin'

It took me a while just to get on the road
Under the burden of a heavy load
I keep my eyes fixed out on the light
That's burning beyond the borders of my sight

Chasing the sun as it crosses the sky
Well it's a losing battle but still I try
With tired eyes set on the horizon

So I move under this blistering morn'
With the heat pouring down but still I'm torn
Cause' sometimes, you’ve got to keep on risin'still I'm torn
Cause' sometimes, you’ve got to keep on risin'

It took me a while just to get on the road
Under the burden of a heavy load
I keep my eyes fixed out on the light
That's burning beyond the borders of my sight

That's why I keep searching out there towards the light
It’s like a beacon out there burning bright
I travel through my days and on through the nights
Knowing one day, one day we'll reach the light
