| Oh I’m waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
|
| Lord why did you lead me here?
|
| I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me I know I’m not of this place, but its here and in my face
|
| All that I am wants to run
|
| God I feel hopeless and undone
|
| Lift me up above it all
|
| I’m feeling broken and alone
|
| Don’t let me turn to stone
|
| Lift my heart above it all
|
| I’ve lost my hope tonight
|
| And I’m praying for the strength to carry on Lord lift me above it all
|
| Now I’m waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
|
| But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
|
| Cause these streets are hard and cold
|
| And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
|
| And all the life that’s been misspent
|
| And all that I am wants to run
|
| God I feel helpless and undone
|
| Lift me up above it all
|
| I’m feeling broken and alone
|
| Don’t let me turn to stone
|
| Lift my heart above it all
|
| I’ve lost my hope tonight
|
| And I’m praying for the strength to carry on Lord lift me above it all
|
| Bridge:
|
| Maybe I’m not supposed to fly
|
| Maybe you want me here tonight
|
| To lift them up above it all
|
| When they’re broken and alone
|
| Don’t let me turn to stone
|
| Lift them up above it all
|
| Cause they cannot stand alone
|
| And they’re praying for the strength to carry on Lift us up above it all
|
| When we’re broken and alone
|
| Don’t let us turn to stone
|
| Lift us up above it all
|
| Because we cannot stand alone
|
| And we’re praying for the strength to carry on Lord will you lift us up above it all |
