Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul Lord why did You lead me here? Because I, I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me And I know I'm not of this place, but it's here and in my face And all that I am wants to run Well 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 Because I've lost my hope tonight And I'm praying for the strength to carry on Lord will You lift me up above it all Above it all Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray Beause 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 Because I've lost my hope tonight And I'm praying for the strength to carry on Lord will You lift me up above it all Well above it all *Bridge* Maybe I'm not supposed to fly Cause 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 Because 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
