[Verse 1]
The moon, she is arising
The moon, she is arising
All dressed in blue to show us the way
All dressed in blue, just to show us the way
Show us the way, show us the way
[Verse 2]
And good Chief Joseph will take up his people
Lead them down to the river by the break of day
Lead them down to the river by the break of day
The break of day
The break of day
[Verse 3]
And the morning star will come out to greet us
As we cross over the waters of darkness
As wе cross over the hard waters of thе heart
Of the heart
Of the heart
[Verse 4]
So keep on climbing, keep on climbing
Towards the dove with the soft spoken wings
Towards the dove with the unbroken wings
Unbroken wings
Unbroken wings
[Verse 5]
The sun, he is a-shining
The sun, he is a-shining
Reclined in glory to receive us home
Reclined in glory, to receive his children home
Receive them home
Receive them home
[Verse 6]
And good Chief Joseph will take up his people
Lead them up across the mountains by the end of day
Lead them up across the mountains by the end of day
The end of day
By the end of day
[Outro]
The moon, she is arising
She is arising
All dressed in blue just to show us the way
Show us the way
Show us the way
Show us the way
