Patti Smith - Upright Come lyrics

Hail brother

The distant thunder

Is nothing but hearts

Beating as one

Dance of a million

On God's pavilion

Come come

Beat on your drum

Awake people arise

Awake upright come

Fortune is falling like

Tears from the skies

Open your eyes

Hail sister

Come on over

To shape reshape

Things to come

Bow your head

Raise your lantern

Come come

Beat on your drum

Awake people arise

Awake upright come

Fortune is falling like

Tears from the skies

Open your eyes

United action is what we need

Time to say that everything is going to be

Wasted icons wasted lives

Like war obsolete

Awake people arise

Awake upright come

Fortune is falling like

Tears from the skies

Open your eyes

These are the times

The times of our own

These are the shapes

The world we formed

Swift is the arrow

Dark is the thorn

The slate is clean

The future awaits

Awake
