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
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
