Come on friend, get up
This place of rest has gone corrupt
Too early yet to make a sound
For now we move with our heads down
Come on friend, let’s go
Our future waits just down the road
Drink some faith from the holy fountain
Then we're off to move a mountain
Onward we go
Down the sifting road
What has begun
Shall soon be done
Let's move ahead like Moses
While behind us the Red Sea closes
Even if we don't feel this time
Like we have the strength to climb
Like Josh at Jericho
May we find the faith to go
Round and round and round a round
Until the great walls hit the ground
I pray we don't look back
Or hide ourselves from pain's attack
And that we won't back down
When it’s time to make a sound
Endeavor to hold fast
Only onto what will last
Friend, beware what your hope resides in
And keep your eyes on the horizon
