Intro: Somebody told me once in a life - time Destiny finds you and blows you away Spins you in circles pulls you in pieces Bleeds you like Jesus and goes on its way But it's oh so simple sometimes Just to lay your heart open wide If you wanna get to heaven then you gotta take the ride Love lift me wherever you are Convince me I'm safe in your arms Love lift me make sense of it all Teach me to fly and don't let me fall Somebody told me love makes you stupid Makes you go crazy makes you go blind Comes uninvited and leaves when it wants to Calls you at midnight and ties up your line But it's oh so sweet when it's right (there's nothin' better) And you swear you won't but you might (you're gonna try) Gotta fumble in the dark if you wanna see the light Love lift me wherever you are Convince me I'm safe in your arms Love lift me make sense of it all Teach me to fly and don't let me fall And when it's all said and done it's just the same for everyone You're busy making your plans love's like a bird, baby Flying out of your hands Solo: And it's oh so hard to explain (we don't know nothin') And your heart gets hold of your brain (but still we try) Better batten down the hatches baby here we go again Love lift me wherever you are Convince me I'm safe in your arms Love lift me I'm waiting on you 'Cause nothing can lift me the way that you do Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, only love can take me higher) Love lift me (Lift me up, lift me up, take me to a higher ground) Love lift me (only love can take me higher) I wanna fly
