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

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
