Lift Me Up

Lift me up
I’ve fallen down, down, down
Farther than I’ve ever been
Let’s get lost
I need to leave this town
Bags are packed, just say when
I’ve gotten old
It’s happened just now
My stories told
Can’t remember how
But I’ve got this one thing I need
Tap a vein, watch me bleed
My bones creak and my muscles ache
But here I rise, wide awake
I swear my soul is yours to take
But you hand it back without a break
You make me young, you make me young
Clear my head
Remove the haze, haze, haze
Part the clouds, lift the fog
Starting fresh
The past was just a phase
Avoid the crowds, hair of the dog
I’ve gotten old
It happened just now
Been bought and sold
Can’t remember how
But you’ve got this one thing I need
Tap a vein, watch me feed
My bones creak and my muscles ache
But here I rise, wide awake
I swear my soul is yours to take
But you hand it back without a break
Take my hand, pull my weight
I’ll follow you to heaven’s gate
Read my palm and give it straight
It’s not too late to seal my fate
You make me young, you make me young

Passing Chance

Across the divide, I’m hit broadside
Murmurs and nonsense envelop
Dreams of our future develop
I saw your face, you laugh with grace
I can’t stop my head from spinning
I can’t stop my mouth from grinning
You took a hold of me
Light headed and dizzy now
My passing chance, began with a glance
You will tell me a story
Regale me with past glory
Bonding over pity
Let’s run from this city now
Can I take that chance
Can we take that chance
It is just one dance

Persistance
01:03

Just take a second to try to reckon
All that has been thrown at your feet
Stop now to inhale, there’s time to curtail
Your stress so don’t accept defeat
Metal and paper, nothing but vapor
Steam and smoke to fog your vision
Keep moving ahead, do not get mislead
Create your path with precision
You will fail a million times
That’s a part of it, try to make an art of it
Fortune favors the ones who climb
Make a start of it, you may have a heart for it
Or you could just give up
Walk away
No one’s stopping you.

Give Love, Just Love
01:30

You pray for peace
You dream of comfort
You hope
That everything he wanted
Was never out of reach
You wish
That you could have a moment more
For him just to teach
All he knows
All he has seen
Was there
More you could have done?
Are you filling up with doubt?
Did you listen hard enough?
Did he know what you’re about?
There’s one way to wash doubt away
Ask yourself these questions ever day
Were you loved?
Did you love him?
There is nothing else that matters
I promise this is true
As long as you shared your love
There is nothing left to do
Give love, just love
As you pray for peace
You dream of comfort
