A man was bein' buried and placed in another's grave,
The men in charge saw the enemy and quickly ran away.
They threw the body in the ground, and touched Elisah's bones,
The dead man rose up with a shout great God what's goin' on.

(Chorus:)
There's somethin' goin' on in the graveyard like you ain't never seen,
Saints are comin' up from the ground, Oh can't you hear them sing,
With resurection power, and glory all around,
There's somethin' goin' on in the graveyard
The saints are heavenbound.

There is a day a coming that Jesus spoke about,
When all those who sleep in the ground will wake up and come out.
The world says we've gone crazy, sometimes we feel alone,
But one day they're gonna cry aloud. Oh God what's goin' on.

Chorus: (There's something goin' on in the graveyard like you ain't never
seen,)............Twice

Coda:
There's something goin' on in the graveyard, ain't no grave gonna hold me
down.
