First heard this little gem on an unlabeled cassette, long since gone the way of all things, given by friends from Woodstock (Ontario) in 1986; have yet to discover the writer/band ...
lyrics
Everybody follow
The loud prophet
Or the quiet sage
Or maybe you're a man
Who heeds only himself
All in all and by and by
The prophet and sage will die
And in the end
You stand alone
But will you rise again?
Will you rise again?
You read the book
You decide to choose
And every day
You win or lose
And in your heart
You long for peace
You know you can't do your best
Take your downers
You need your rest
In the end
You stand alone
But will you rise again?
Will you rise again?
The Lord Almighty clothed in flesh
Came to earth and took the test
And in the end
He stood alone
All the angels wondered why
The Master would come and die
And as they watched
He died alone
But He rose again
Yes He rose again
Will you rise again?
May you rise again.
