Lyrics
Mary weeped over me
Mary weeped over me
Turned on dime, said to me
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me.
Saul told David, come play for me
Saul told David, come pray for me
Trouble in mind won't let me be
When you reach for the higher rock,
Then you reach for me.
Rock in the hand won't let you be
Rock in the hand won't let you be
It's the open hand, will set you free
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me
Coal man say he's got a deal for me
Coal man say he's got a deal for me
That black gold a-chokin me
When you reach for the higher rock,
Then you reach for me.
Shackle and chain can't settle me
Shackle and chain can't settle me
Been strung up on a dogwood tree
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me.
Gilded cage is a treachery
Gilded cage is a treachery
Heart of gold that holds the key
When you reach for the higher rock
Then you reach for me.
