Sister Rosetta Goes Before Us

Strange things are happening every day

I hear the music up above my head

Though the sight of my heart has left me again,

I hear music up above

Secrets are written in the sky

Looks like I’ve lost the love I’ve never found

Though the sound of hope has left me again,

I hear music up above

Standing in my broken heart all night long

Darkness held me like a friend when love wore off

Looking for the lamb that’s hidden in the cross

The finder’s lost

I know I’ve loved you too much

I’ll go on alone to get through

I hear Rosetta singing in the night

Echoes of light that shine like stars after they’re gone

Tonight she’s my guide as I go on alone

With the music up above
