Above It All - Building 429

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

Bridge:

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
