Lyrics

Sit
Wait for a ticket
Think about the day I was born
Watch all the evil surround the cathedral and mourn

Voice worn like the sole of a shoe
On a man who is otherwise gone
The ghost of the preacher
The teacher is traveling on

Oh
Traveling on
Oh
Traveling on

Got no voice in the senate
Got no friend in the guard
Just a machine that can deal and draw the next card

But the four winds blow over my back
Like a river runs over a stone
And just like that river
I'll carry my people back home

Oh
People back home
Oh
People back home

Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up

Calm
Old as an ocean
Blue as the day I was born
Rise up people
We are not alone

Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home

Oh rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up people back home
Rise up

Sit
Wait for a ticket
Think about the day I was born
