I've been strung up
Put out for show
A line I could not tow
And so it seems
By any means
I must find a way
To hurt myself
And those I love
When I could rise above
And only you
The path is through
A chance to start anew
If you could lift me up high
Lift me to the sky
I would not tumble and fall away
I'd still be at your side today
If you could lift me up high
Lift me to the sky
Up in the clouds is where I'd stay
And watch my old life drift away
All that I ask
Is that my years
May not be lived in fear
So satisfy
My worried mind
And I can find a way
To love myself
And others too
Despite what they've been through
I ask today
You light their way
And someday they can say
If you could lift me up high
Lift me to the sky
I would not tumble and fall away
I'd still be at your side today
If you could lift me up high
Lift me to the sky
Up in the clouds is where I'd stay
And watch my old life drift away
