They say it's just a rumour
That the weather's turning warm
It's not that I don't believe it
But I'll believe it when it comes
The hearts and doors all closed
And if someone came and told me this
Well I'd tell them they were wrong

But it seems that a recovery
Does not rely on what I see

Arise, arise to life

They say it's just a rumour
That they rolled away the stone
It's not that I don't believe it
But I've never seen it done
For three days He was in there
A heart as cold as stone
And what I want to know is this;
who was it bid Him 'come'

But it seems that God's ability
Does not rely on what I see
To understand what lies beneath
You have to go beyond belief,
That anything could rise from sleep
Beneath the coat that winter keeps
Is far beyond the reasoning
Of just another simple man

Arise, arise to life
