Whose Chariot? > In Between Now and Then

a patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise
and over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise
but don't cross the river, not over there
there'' be a mystery revealed and i bet you dare
and if i am to seek this place y'all can see
whose chariot to follow so i can be free

at night the stars cry
i gaze upon a lake of backyard
and under these overpasses a towering mountain does lie
but don't cross the river, not over there
there'll be a mystery revealed that we're meant to share
so if i am to seek this place y'all can see
whose chariot to follow so i can be free

oh no, here we are again
oh no, here we are again
my mamma told me don't go cross that river
because you might not make it back
the beast gonna eat your heart
she said, don't go out there
stay upon your track
this money has torn my family apart and i cannot buy it back
so of course i built my boat, and was half upon my way
and when i got to the other side the water came rushing down
washed me away

whose chariot, whose chariot, whose chariot, chariot
whose chariot, whose chariot, chariot
chariot, whose chariot, chariot
chariot
freedom, freedom, whose chariot
freedom, freedom, whose chariot
freedom, freedom, whose chariot
whose chariot take me home
take me home

oh no, said i'm out that door again
i left my house, my money, and my dearest friend
i'm not going back, jack, across the river
got a little bit of business that i'm doing today
you didn't feel me, you can't really see no good
i made my life out a stack of wood
i've been moving cross the river today
but whose chariot take me home

whose chariot
take me home
hallelujah
coming home
who chariot gotta, will you take me
who chariot will you, will you take me
who chariot will you, will you take me
who chariot would you pick me up and take me
who chariot gotta, will you take me
who chariot just pick me up and take me
who chariot come and get me
whose chariot take me home
take me home
