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 some day
I will lift my eyes
Come on lift me higher
Come on lift me higher
(Chorus:)
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 cross-town 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
(Chorus)
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
