Lately Leviathan has crept up from the south
Up the River Jordan there with its ever thirsty mouth
Drinks and drinks and drinks and drinks, it's never satisfied
Down below, the River has died
Wild Ox, please my friend, don't leave your droppings here
Let the life-filled waters flow to the valley of tears
Stand up with us
Stand up
Together we will see
A land, alive and free
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Dark side of hope is that it keeps us paralyzed
Waiting for the yonder man, savior from the other side
Don't you see that mystery unfolding over there
So let's cross, not sit and stare
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise

Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Forty years of searching shows one thing that's surely true
You've got to find the river first before you can cross on through
Prophets find the path but they can't take us to the other side
So let's go, ourselves, don't hide
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
Sweet waters, let them rise
Rise, rise, rise, rise
