Rise at Last Lyrics

Very high between the clouds

On a misty mountain peak

Lies an old forgotten tree

Forever standing still

By a river's source it waits

Outside the hands of time

Gazing at the light of dawn

But now here comes the rain

The rain

So the sun goes black

The wind is howling

As the lightning cracks the skies

Striking down the tree

Turning its leaves to ash

But the gale is fading

And the sun will rise at last

Rise at last

Down below the mountains edge

The river formed a stream

Flowing to a waterfall

Never standing still

So the winter's passing by

The snow will melt away

The tree will grow its leaves anew

Despite the driving rain

The rain

So the sun goes black

The wind is howling

As the lightning cracks the skies

Striking down the tree

Turning its leaves to ash

But the gale is fading

And the sun will rise at last

Rise at last

Very high between the clouds

On a misty mountain peak

Lies an old forgotten tree

Forever standing still
