Lyrics:

I’ll write myself a simple song
Get the whole world to sing along
I’ll call it a love song for you

And who knows
I’m liable to take a song from the bible
And then when I’m thro’
I’ll just sing:

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When nothing else would do
You know, love lifted me

Everybody’s lookin’ for a way
To say something
Nobody said but that's hard to do

They're searchin’ their mind
Tryin’ to find the one of a kind way
That they could say something new
I just say:

Love lifted me, love lifted me
When I was down and out
You know, love lifted me
Love lifted me, …
