Lyrics:

My father and his father came to me at night
As I tossed my head on a fever bed praying for the light
The elder spoke in poetry...
Words dancing ‘round his head
Then the younger said
You see, I was cut down when I was running at full speed
Thinking everything I wanted was everything I’d need
Betting I was faster than any wicked wind that blew my way

You will rise up you will go on
It’s not your time, it’s just one more storm
We are like leaves scattered to the wind
You will rise up
Rise up again…

Those who’d gone before me spoke to me in dreams
Telling me my race is not yet run
Their faces lost to history, circumstance and mystery
Fading names and places gone to time
For those who were cut down running at full speed
Believing that their destiny was all they’d ever need
Betting they were faster than any wicked wind that blew their way

Like a wild horse in a shadow box waiting for the sun
I’ll dream until my day comes around
This crooked world won’t beat me ’til I am truly done
I'm not ready for the burying ground
