Intro

Verse 1

 Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul

 Lord why did you lead me here?

 'Cause I, 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

Pre-chorus

 All that I am wants to run

 God I feel helpless and undone

Chorus 1

 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 will you lift me above it all

TAG:

Above it all

Verse 2

 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

Bridge

Maybe I'm not supposed to fly

Maybe you want me here tonight

Chorus 2

 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
