Lyrics
LIFTING ME UP (Roma Waterman/Andrew Naylor)
Some days it?s hard not to hang my weary head
Darkness can cloud all the vision that I had
So I close my eyes -
Knowing you will come?
Where is the child who found it easy to believe?
Where did the years go? The laughter and the dreams?
Somewhere deep inside
They are only hiding
I won?t stay the same,
I?ve a reason to believe
Chorus
I?ll rise on the wings of a new day dawning
I?ll fly to the dream within my heart that?s calling
Lifting me up, lifting me higher
I?ll take to the road that will rise to meet me
And everyday I?ll be closer to heaven
You?re lifting me up and I?m living the dream in me
Vs
I can be strong as I swim against the tide
I can have joy through these tears that I have cried
If you?re here with me I can still believe
You hold my hands and the life that they have made
You hold my dreams I will never be afraid
gonna find my way to a brighter day
I won?t stay the same,
I?ve a reason to believe
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Nothing?s gonna keep me from believing
Gonna keep my feet back on the ground
Nothing?s gonna stop me, I?ll keep dreaming.
Nothing?s gonna stop my voice from singing
Nothing?s gonna keep me from believing
Gonna get my feet back on the ground
Nothing?s gonna stop me, I?ll keep dreaming
I?ve a reason to believe
Repeat Chorus to fade
Oh I will fly?lifting me up, lifting me higher
