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
Soon the sun was faded
And 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, yeah
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
Lead on

Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
Chambers made for sleeping forever
Voices like thunder
In a mighty roar
Crying to the Lord

Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, yeah
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
Lead on

Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
Though we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tells me why

Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, yeah
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking

Lead me on, lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into Your keeping, yeah
Lead me on, lead me on
The awaited deliverance comforts the seeking
Lead on
