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
