Like a hawk flying high above the city
Like a sunset cloud in a golden flame
Like a leaf on the wind moving 'cross the water

Watch me rise, watch me rise
Watch me rise, watch me rise above
Resting, oh, resting in his love, in his love

See me as a boy, safe beside my father
See my father safe when he was a boy
Time marches on, the wheel is always turning

Watch me rise, watch me rise
Watch me rise, watch me rise above
Resting, oh, resting in his love, in his love
Watch me rise above

If you cry for me, don't do it for my sorrow
If you cry for me, do it for my joy
And let your tears fall upon the flowers

So they rise, rise, rise
So they rise above
Resting, oh, resting in his love

Watch me rise, watch me rise
Oh, just watch me rise, just watch me rise above
Resting, oh, resting in his love, in his love
Watch me rise above
