Upright Come Songtext
von Patti Smith

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
Come

Awake, people arise
Awake, upright come
Fortune is falling like tears from the skies
Open your eyes

Hail sister, on't you come over?
Shape, re-shape the things to come
Bow your head, raise your lantern
Come, come
Beat on your drum
Come


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, let people arise
Awake, upright come
Fortune is falling like tears from your eyes
Awake, upright come
Awake, upright come
Awake, upright come
Awake

These are the times (awake)
The times of our own
These are the shapes
So the world we formed
Swift is the arrow (awake)
Dark is the thorn
The slate is clean
The future awaits


Awake
Awake
Awake
