Intro: This road is anything but simple Twisted like a riddle I've seen high and I've seen low So loud, the voices of all my doubts Telling me to give up, to pack up and leave town Even so, I had to believe Impossible means nothing to me, yeah So can you lift me up, Turn the ashes into flames ‘Cause I have overcome More than words will ever say And I've been given hope That there's a light on up the hall And that a day will come When the fight is won And I think that day has just begun ( ) Somewhere, everybody starts there I'm counting on a small prayer, Lost in a nightmare But I'm here, and suddenly it's so clear The struggle through the long years It taught me to outrun my fears Everything worth having, oh Comes with trials worth withstanding Oh, lift me up Oh, lift me up Oh, lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Oh, Lift me up Down and out is overrated And I need to be elevated Looking up is not enough No, I would rather rise above
