C B/G
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
Am F
Lord why did you lead me here?
C B/G
I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
Am F
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face
Am G F
All that I am wants to run
Am G F
God I feel hopeless and undone
C F
Lift me up above it all
Am G
I'm feeling broken and alone
F C
Don't let me turn to stone
C F
Lift my heart above it all
Am G
I've lost my hope tonight
C F
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
F G C
Lord lift me up above it all
C B/G
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
Am F
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
C
Cause these streets are hard and cold
B/G Am
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
F
And all the life that's been misspent
Am G F
And all that I am wants to run
Am G
God I feel helpless and undone
C F
Lift me up above it all
Am G
I'm feeling broken and alone
F C
Don't let me turn to stone
C F
Lift my heart above it all
Am G
I've lost my hope tonight

And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
F G C
Lord lift me up above it all
Bridge
F Am G
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
F Am G
Maybe you want me here tonight
To lift them up above it all
