dead but rising

dear wind of mississippi, can you call him by name?, i have followed his wings on a sunny day, i like to believe he's the chosen one, i like to believe he's the fallen one, dead but rising, i raise the fist, raise the fist with power and fate, and wishing that his claws will grab onto my hand, i like to believe he's the chosen one, i like to believe he's the fallen one, dead but rising, i have been to the end of waters, i have been to the end of earth, i've been over mountains and riding the storms, dear son, your words have reached me, and for that i can carry on, i'll guide you in spirit. today i'll be home, i like to believe he's the fallen one, i like to believe he's the chosen one, the rebirth of man heals a bleeding heart, the eagle of kings wears my father's soul, dead but rising
