Bruce Springsteen - We Are Alive

There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
There is a graveyard kid down below
Where at night did come to life
And above the stars they crackle in fire
A dead man’s moon throws seven rings
Well we put our ears to the cold grave stones
This is the song they’d sing
We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone
here in the dark
Our spirits rise to carry the fire
and light the spark
To stand shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
A voice cried out I was killed in
Maryland in 1877
When the railroad workers made their stand
Well I was killed in 1963 one
Sunday morning in Birmingham
Well I died last year crossing
the southern Desert
My children left behind in San Pablo
Well they left our bodies here to rot
Oh please let them know
We are alive
Oh and though we lie alone here in the dark
Our souls will rise to carry
the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
Let your mind rest easy sleep well my friend
It’s only our bodies that betray us in the end
I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
From my head to my feet
my body gone stone cold
There were worms crawling all around me
Fingers scratching at
an earth black and six foot low
And alone in the blackness of my grave
Alone I’d been left to die
Then I heard voices calling all around me
The earth rose above me my eyes filled with sky
We are alive
And though our bodies lie
alone here in the dark
Our souls and spirits rise
To carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
To stand shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
We are alive
There is a cross up yonder up on Calvary Hill
There is a slip of blood on a silver knife
There is a graveyard kid down below
Where at night did come to life
And above the stars they crackle in fire
A dead man’s moon throws seven rings
Well we put our ears to the cold grave stones
This is the song they’d sing
We are alive
And though our bodies lie alone
here in the dark
Our spirits rise to carry the fire
and light the spark
To stand shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
A voice cried out I was killed in
Maryland in 1877
When the railroad workers made their stand
Well I was killed in 1963 one
Sunday morning in Birmingham
Well I died last year crossing
the southern Desert
My children left behind in San Pablo
Well they left our bodies here to rot
Oh please let them know
We are alive
Oh and though we lie alone here in the dark
Our souls will rise to carry
the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
Let your mind rest easy sleep well my friend
It’s only our bodies that betray us in the end
I awoke last night in a dark and dreamy deep
From my head to my feet
my body gone stone cold
There were worms crawling all around me

And alone in the blackness of my grave
Alone I’d been left to die

The earth rose above me my eyes filled with sky
We are alive
And though our bodies lie

Our souls and spirits rise
To carry the fire and light the spark
To fight shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
To stand shoulder to shoulder
and heart to heart
We are alive
