Oh Im 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 Im 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
Im feeling broken and alone
Dont let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
Ive lost my hope tonight
And Im praying for the strength to carry on
Lord lift me above it all
Now Im 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 thats been misspent
And all that I am wants to run
God I feel helpless and undone
Lift me up above it all
Im feeling broken and alone
Dont let me turn to stone
Lift my heart above it all
Ive lost my hope tonight
And Im praying for the strength to carry on
Lord lift me above it all
Maybe Im not supposed to fly
Maybe you want me here tonight
To lift them up above it all
When theyre broken and alone
Dont let me turn to stone
Lift them up above it all
Cause they cannot stand alone
And theyre praying for the strength to carry on
Lift us up above it all
When were broken and alone
Dont let us turn to stone
Lift us up above it all
Because we cannot stand alone
And were praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will you lift us up above it all
