Bruce Springsteen - Rocky Ground lyrics

(I'm a soldier!)
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 hills
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
Have washed this land
Jesus said the money changers
In this temple will not stand
Find your flock, get them to higher ground
Flood waters rising and
And the kingdom's on fire

We've been traveling
Over rocky ground, rocky ground
We've been traveling
Over rocky ground, rocky ground
(I'm a soldier!)

Tend to your flock
or they will stray
We'll be called for our service
Come Judgment Day
Before we
cross that river wide
Blood on our hands will come back on us twice

(I'm a soldier!)

Rise up shepherd, rise up
Your flock has roamed far from the hills
Stars have faded, the sky is still
Sun's in the heavens
and a new day's 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

We've been traveling
Over rocky ground, rocky ground
We've been traveling
Over rocky ground, rocky ground

Oh, a new day's coming
