Lyrics

Lift It Up

1st Verse
Once I swam in a sea of sorrow
losin' my head ?neath the waves of a lost tommorow
Llift it up... sombody said
Lift it up... the current instead washed me away....washed me away

2nd Verse
Raggin' storm, roiling water
wash away all the sins of your sons and your daughters
Lift it up.., somebody said
Lift it up.. heavy as lead...

Chorus
Lift it up...for the broken hearted
there tattered and torn, but that's not how they started
Raise your voice, for the poor down trodden
They're hungry and cold, huddled down at the bottom

3rd Verse
There's a voice, that's cries in the distance. Give me a hand won't you.. man, such dogged insistence
Lift it up.. a choir sang
Lift it up.. coin in cup rang here today

4th Verse
How many nights, must she lay forgotten clutching those dreams by the seams of nights in tall cotton
Lift it up.. the pain and the fears
lift it up.. rain mingled with tears...

Chorus

Did anybody see them fall
slip, trip or stumble, crumble into that ball lyin? here at your feet on a dead-end street
Lift it up....for the broken hearted
Lift it up....for the broken hearted
(repeat)
