Rise Lyrics - David Wilcox

I see you dreaming by the ocean window 

I hear you breathing like the waves upon the shore 

The tide is turning on your time of sorrow 

You will never be so lonesome any more 

The breezes whisper as the curtain dances 

Your dreams are deeper than the mystery of the sea 

The sun itself is in the room beside you 

With a message of how good your life can be 

I know that a heart can just get buried 

Stone by stone, crushing hope until it dies 

Far away, but the message somehow carries 

Beloved, it is time for you to rise 

Time for you to rise up 

With a sudden sense of wonder 

Though the promise goes unspoken 

As the joy comes to your eyes 

When the joy comes to your eyes 

From the burden you've been under 

For your soul was never broken 

Beloved, it is time for you to rise, time for you to rise 

There's nothing wrong with taking time for sleeping 

Your eyes are weary with the things that you have seen 

A deeper promise your soul is keeping 

Right in time for this appointment in your dream 

Angels whisper so as not to wake you 

There's nothing else in this whole world for you to do 

But follow on to where your dream may take you 

To see your footsteps from an eagle's point of view
