Lift me up Lift me up Lift me up Down here in the valley of the shadow, you see As it's our story Down here in the valley, every puddle of mud Comes from tears and blood And it's so hard just to get warned That the chill turns into despair Will You lift me up? With tender care Will You wash me? Clean in the palm of Your hands Will You hold me close? So I can thrive When You touch me That's when I know I'm alive Down here in the valley, nothin's able to grow Cause the light's too low Folks spend their days, diggin' for diamonds and gold Till they just get old And they don't know anything else They don't know they're breathin' hot air
But I'm tired of livin' like this And my soul cries out if You're there Will You lift me up? With tender care Will You wash me? Clean in the palm of Your hands Lord, hold me close So I can thrive When You touch me That's when I know I'm alive Lift me up Lift me up Will you lift me up? With tender care Will You wash me? Clean in the palm of Your hands Lord, hold me close So I can thrive When You touch me That's when I know I'm alive Lord, lift me up With tender care Will You wash me? Clean in the palm of Your hands Lord, hold me close So I can thrive When You touch me That's when I know I'm alive Lift me up Lift me up
