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 a blazing sun But soon the sun was faded 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 It's labelled 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 And voices like thunder in a mighty roar They were cry 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 again And we drown in the wake of our power Somebody tell me why Oh 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 Lead me on Lead me on
