Ride The Rise

That one got a glow that goes right through you 
That one got a lively light
That one knows a hope that flows into you
Shining through two diamond eyes

That one got a tongue that sings like silver
That one got a voice so bright
That one knows this wicked world can kill you
But we got a mighty life

That one tricked the traps with maps of laughter
That one got a vibrant mind
That one saw the crap we scramble after
And he left it all behind

That one got a face that’s all our faces
That one smiles like a sky
That one got a soul that knows what grace is
Every time we breathe we fly

Ride the rise while it’s climbing so high
We got time ‘til the night
The world is scheming and we know it’s dreaming
Up a lie that’ll try to blind us every time

That one knows a man can change his story
That one wrote his own romance
That one quit a road that’s cold and lonely
Hatched himself another plan

That one don’t get sunk in funky places
That one does a lover’s dance
That one ain’t hung up in stunts and chases
But he got a gambler’s chance

Yeah he got gambler’s chance
