Questions rise on an autumn night

As I make my escape from a noisy life

I walk through the park with a world of care

What's gone wrong, how did I get here

Then a whispering wind said, "lift your eyes"

As a scarlet moon hung low in the sky

Truth comes home in the strangest ways

And hope returns like You will someday

I will lift my eyes

Come on, lift me higher

Come on, lift me higher

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

Like a promise You're coming back to these skies

When I see the red moon rise

Crowded streets in a crosstown car

The things of which my mornings are

But my heart is high like the moon last night

And it makes me feel I can win this fight

Oh, my heart is high

Come on, take me higher

Come on, take me higher

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

Like a promise You're coming back to these skies

When I see the red moon rise

Oh-whoa...

Promises here will fade away

Our best intentions be mislaid

But the hope of the cross and the empty grave

Will carry me through until that day

When I see...

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

Like a promise You're coming back to these skies

Whoa, when I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

When I see the red moon rise

Like a promise You're coming back to these skies

When I see the red moon rise
