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

And freedom was a song

I heard them singing when the day was done

Singing to the holy one



CHORUS

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

Labelled with a golden star

Heavy hearted boarding

Whispers in the dark

"Where are we going--is it very far?"

Bitter cold terrain

Echoes of a slamming door

In chambers made for sleeping

Forever

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar

Cry to the lord



CHORUS



Man hurts man

Time and time, time again

And we drown in the wake of our power

Somebody tell me why



CHORUS (twice)
