I Lift You Up - Hanson

We had to struggle at the start

I still have scars on my hands

But sometimes the things that we need

We were never worthy to receive

And only time can understand

Don’t run from me now

I know you’re scared like a lamb

But I’ll never regret who you are

You’ve grown so much

To come so far

And now you’re standing at the edge

When the darkness comes

And you’re lying in bed

Surrounded by voices

Like the voices in your head

You will never need to despair

I will be here

I, I lift you up

From the bottom of my heartache

And I, I wish you well

From the top of every summit

I weep for you

I made you all that you are

No matter how far you roam

Like planting seeds in the soil

I’d water flowers with tears of joy

If crying eyes would bring you home

Each child that learns from his father

Will take a piece of his soul

How could I hope for something less

A fragiles wish cast on a thread

If feeling this man could make you whole

When the water rises

Stealing your breath

Chilling your heart

As it beats in your chest

You will never need to despair

I will be here

I, I lift you up

From the bottom of my heartache

And I, I wish you well

From the top of every summit

I weep for you
