Bruce Springsteen - Rocky Ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

Rise up shepherd, rise up

Your flock has roamed far from the hill

The stars have faded, the sky is still

The angels are shouting “Glory hallelujah”

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

Forty days and nights of rain washed this land

Jesus said the money changers, in this temple will not stand

Find your flock, get them to higher ground

The floodwater’s rising, we’re Canaan bound

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

Tend to your flock or they will stray

We’ll be called for our service come judgment day

Before we cross that river wide

The blood on our hands will come back on us twice

Rise up shepherd, rise up

Your flock has roamed far from the hill

The stars have faded, the sky is still

Sun’s in the heavens and a new day is rising

You use your muscle and your mind and you pray your best

That your best is good enough, the Lord will do the rest

You raise your children and you teach them to walk straight and sure

You pray that hard times, hard times come no more

You try to sleep you toss and turn the bottom’s dropping out

Where you once had faith now there’s only doubt

You pray for guidance only silence now meets your prayers

The morning breaks, you awake, but no one’s there

There’s a new day coming

A new day’s coming

A new day’s coming

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground

We’ve been traveling over rocky ground, rocky ground
