Whose Chariot? > Rain Or Shine

A patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise
And over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise
But don't cross the river, not over there
There'll be a mystery revealed, I bet you dare
And if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose chariot to follow so I can be free

At night the stars cry
And I gaze upon a lake of backyards
And under these overpasses a towering mountain doth lie
But don't cross the river, not over there
There'll be a mystery revealed I think we're all meant to share
If I am to seek this place you can see
Whose chariot to follow so I can be free

Oh no, here we are again
Oh no, here we are once again
My mamma told me son don't go cross no river
Because you might not make it back
The beast gonna eat your heart
She said, don't go out there
Stay upon your track
If money has torn my family apart you can't ever buy it back
So of course I build my boat, and I was half upon my way
When I got to the other side, white water come rushing down
Wash me away

Chariot, chariot, whose chariot, chariot
Chariot, chariot, chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Freedom, freedom, whose chariot
Whose chariot take me home
Take me home

Oh no, you see I'm out my front door once again
Left my house, and my dollars, and all my closest friends
Not coming back, but Grandpa Jack, I know you hear me
Cause I'm singing to you every single night
You don't believe feel me, I didn't think that you could
So I built my life out this one stack of wood
And I been rolling cross rivers all day
Whose chariot gonna bring me home

I often wonder will anyone wait
Will they stand up for me when I meet my fate
And don't you ever wonder, should anyone care
Have you done your time here right
I mean will anyone be there
I don't know but I think we're all wrong
But somebody gonna bring us home
I don't know, I think we're all wrong
Some chariot gonna bring me home

Hallelujah
Come and bring me, bring me back home
I know you listening good cause you talk to me sometimes
Say
Chariot, gonna come and get me
Some chariot, gonna pick me up and bring me
Whose chariot, gonna come and take me
Somebody better pick me up and show me
Whose chariot, gonna come and get me
Some chariot, gonna pick me up and bring me
Whose chariot, come and get me
Whose chariot, gonna bring me home
