A man was being buried
Placed in another's grave
The men in charge saw the enemy
And quickly ran away
They threw the body in the ground
It touched Elisha's bones
The dead mean rose up with a shout
"Great God! What's going on?!"

There's something going on in the graveyard
Like you ain't never seen
Saints are coming up from the ground
Oh, can't you hear them sing
With resurrection power
And glory all around
There's something going on in the graveyard
The saints are heaven bound

There is a day that's coming
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 going on?!"
There's something going on in the graveyard
Like you ain't never seen
Saints are coming up from the ground
Oh, can't you hear them sing
With resurrection power
And glory all around
There's something going on in the graveyard
The saints are heaven bound

There's something going on in the graveyard
Like you ain't never seen
Saints are coming up from the ground
Oh, can't you hear them sing
With resurrection power
And glory all around
There's something going on in the graveyard
The saints are heaven bound

There's something going on in the graveyard
Ain't no grave gonna hold me down
