Tom: C5
 
         C5                                         B5  
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul  
        A5                            F5  
Lord why did you lead me here?  
          C5                              B5  
I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me  
           A5                                     F5  
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face  
            A5     G5         F5  
All that I am wants to run  
          A5       G5          F5  
God I feel hopeless and undone  
 

         C5                   F5  
Lift me up above it all  
                  A5         G5  
I'm feeling broken and alone  
           F5                    C5  
Don't let me turn to stone  
         C5                     F5  
Lift my heart above it all  
         A5      G5  
I've lost my hope tonight  
                    C5                               F5  
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on  
          F5                   G5       C5  
Lord lift me up above it all  
 

                    C5                             B5  
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye  
                       A5                             F5  
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray  
                        C5  
Cause these streets are hard and cold  
              B5                                   A5  
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness  
                     F5  
And all the life that's been misspent  
                     A5       G5       F5  
And all that I am wants to run  
                     A5        G5  
God I feel helpless and undone 
 

          C5                  F5  
Lift me up above it all  
                    A5      G5  
I'm feeling broken and alone  
          F5                    C5  
Don't let me turn to stone  
         C5                     F5  
Lift my heart above it all  
         A5      G5  
I've lost my hope tonight  
                    C5                               F5  
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on  
        F5                     G5       C5  
Lord lift me up above it all  
 
Bridge  
F5                   A5                 G5  
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly  
F5                  A5                    G5  
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
