Questions rise on an autumn night
As I make my escape from a noisy life
I walk through the park with a world of care
What's gone wrong, how did I get here

Then a whispering wind said, "lift your eyes"
As a scarlet moon hung low in the sky
Truth comes home in the strangest ways
And hope returns like You will someday

I will lift my eyes
Come on, lift me higher
Come on, lift me higher

When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
Like a promise You're coming back to these skies
When I see the red moon rise

Crowded streets in a crosstown car
The things of which my mornings are
But my heart is high like the moon last night
And it makes me feel I can win this fight

Oh, my heart is high
Come on, take me higher
Come on, take me higher

When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
Like a promise You're coming back to these skies
When I see the red moon rise

Oh-whoa...

Promises here will fade away
Our best intentions be mislaid
But the hope of the cross and the empty grave
Will carry me through until that day
When I see...
When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
Like a promise You're coming back to these skies

Whoa, when I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
When I see the red moon rise
Like a promise You're coming back to these skies
When I see the red moon rise
