Whose Chariot? O.A.R

A patterned sunrise swept along away the sunrise
And over these underpasses a towering mountain does rise
But don't cross the river, not over there
There will be a mystery revealed and I bet you dare
And if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?

At night the stars cry
I gaze upon a lake of backyard
And under these overpasses a towering mountain does lie
But don't cross the river, not over there
There will be a mystery revealed that we're meant to share
So if I am to seek this place y'all can see
Whose Chariot to follow so I can be free?

Oh no, here we are again
Oh no, here we are again

My mamma told me
"Don't go cross that river."
"Because you might not make it back
The beast gonna eat your heart."
She said, "Don't go out there
And stay upon your track."
"This money has torn my family apart and I cannot buy it back."
So of course I built my boat, and I was half upon my way
And when I got to the other side the water came rushing down
Washed me away
