2. First there's a womanAll through the nightWho prays and delivers the sonOne who's made readyTo enter a worldAnd live until everything's doneAnother soul to bearA cross we shareAnd now and thenSomebody with a crown we wearBut first there's a womanWho carries the childAnd carries them all the way home
3. First came the womanWho follows a manAnd lives for the light in his eyesUsually willingShe dreams to fulfillThe great prophecies of the skiesAnd so with everything given to seeShe wants to be what he wants to beFirst there's a womanWho follows a manAnd follows him all the way home

And her vessels multipliedOne for every yearWhen the number of the shipsDescending from the oneCame to number eighty fourShe knew here work was done
While a courting nightingaleSang the whole night throughThen just like the morningIn a blaze of lightShe spread her wings of miraclesAnd disappeared from sight

Additional Lyrics
Some folks talk about the love they're feeling.Talk about the love they need.Others say that love is waiting.In the meantime watch my speed.I got love for climbing mountains, love for sailing over seas.I got love there is no stopping, love for sending like the breeze.To Chorus:
When my life on earth is over and the struggle here is done.I will find a new dimension in the rising sun.In the place that is forever, I will spread my wings and fly.If you see a streak of lightning, I'll be passing by.To Chorus:

2. My father built us houses.And he kept his folks inside,His images were stolen,And his beauty was denied,
3. My brothers are unhappy,My sisters they are too,My mother prays for glory,And my father stands accused,
4. My father, yes my father,A brave and skillful man,He fed and served his people,With the magic of his hand,
5. My father, yes my father,His soul was sorely tried,'Cause his images were stolen,And his beauty was denied,
Additional Lyrics
6. Sometimes the river's calling,Sometimes the shadows fall,That's when he's like a mountain.Rising master over all,
7. This story of my father,Is the one I tell and give,It's the power and the glory,Of the life I make and live.
8. My father has a kingdom,My father wears a crown.And he lives within the people,In the lives he handed down,
9. My father has a kingdom,My father wears a crown,And through the spirit of my mother, Lord,The crown was handed down.

2. He gathers pretty flowersAnd he hums, sometimes he singsHis melody is mellowAnd around the world it ringsHe is my world's delightAnd in the evening out of sightHe is starrin' in the nightThe rising sun.
3. Sometimes I run to meet himAnd I tell him of my dreamsHis gaze is steady on meAnd I'm blushing from his beamsHis conversationts fineAnd I love to dance and dineWith the movin' groovin'Early rising sun.
4. He brings the many colorsFor the faces that I wearHis face is like a diamondAnd it's shining everywhereHe is a central figureAnd he makes the world grow biggerJust because he is the early rising sunJust because he is the early rising sun.

When I'm called homeI will sing a songAnd tell them of a beggar's lifeWhere everything goes wrongWhere everybody's hopes and dreamsAre shattered by the wind.I'll tell them of a ghosty worldOf us and they and him.I'll tell them how the shadows fallWhen they call me home.
When I'm called homeI will tell the starsOf the battles that were lostIn a world of wars.I will tell the riversOf the children lost at seaOf how a soul is barteredAnd what it costs a spirit free.Hallelujah tell a story, ohWhen they call me home.
