Lead Me On

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 the 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
 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
 Cryin' to the lord
 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
 Man hurts man
 Time and time, time again
 And we drown in the wake of our power
 Somebody tell me why

 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
 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, oh, lead on
 Lead me on
 Lean on me

 Lead on, lead on
 Lead me on
 It's like comfort I'm seeking
 Lead me on
