Take me on up to Zion
Where I can lay my burden down
Everything's on fire
Ain't no peace in this crazy town
Take me on up to Zion
Where my Lord will comfort me
He will lay me down by still water
While my enemies run from me
They gonna run
Run from me
You will see
See them run
Far away
From me
Take me on up to Zion
Think I gotta psalm
Runnin' throught my head
Bring me over to King David
Gonna sing it now for all my friends
Take me on up to Zion
Where no harm shall come to me
No fire will light upon my cloak
And the sons of iniquity
They gonna run
Run from me
You will see
See them run
Far away
From me
He's gonna run
Take me on up to Zion
Where I can lay my burdens down
Oh everything's on fire
Ain't no peace in this crazy town
Take me on up to Zion
To that secret place in my heart
Where even Satan don't dare to stand too long
When he sees that temple guard
He's gonna run
