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 a 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
Labeled 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: x2]
