  • (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    One, two, three, four (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)

    There was a woman waiting at the well
    Drawing water 'neath the desert sky blue
    She said, "It'll heal the blind, raise the dead, cure the sickness out of you"
    Come on men of Gideon
    Come on men of Saul
    Come on sons of Abraham
    We waiting outside heaven's wall

    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand

    He saw a watcher at the city gates
    Jonah in the belly of the whale
    He watched you walk your ragged mile
    His mercy did not fail

    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    Hey!

    Li li-li li, li li-li li
    (Li li-li li, li li-li li)

    Whoa! Whoa!

    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand

    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand

    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)

    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand)
    And together we'll walk into Canaan land
    (Raise your hand, raise your hand, raise your hand) Writer/s: BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN
