Lead Me On

Shoulder to the wheel

For someone else's selfish gain

Here, there is no choosing

Working the clay

Wearing their anger

Like a ball and chain

Fire in the field

Underneath the blazing sun

But soon the sun was faded, freedom was a song

I heard them singing when the day was done

Singing to the Holy One

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs into your keeping

Oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking

Lead on

Waiting for the train

Labeled with a golden star

Heavy-hearted boarding

Whispers in the dark

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar

Oh, they're crying to the Lord

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs into your keeping

Oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking

Oh, lead on

Man hurts man

Time and time and time again

And we drown in the wake of our power

Somebody tell me why

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs into your keeping

Oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking

Oh, lead on

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs into your keeping

Oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking

Oh, lead on
