Lyrics:
Lift Me Up
Life In Song #171 | 7/20/91 | Recorded 05/2024 | Tuning: DGDGGD
I know you’re out there some where, you dancing warrior
I know you have a message for me like some mystic courier
When you call I get so far away, I get so out of sorts
You’re more patient than a rock, wiser than a tree,
Cooler than a corpse!
Refrain:
Lift me up into the devastating stillness of your eyes
Life me up into the lightness till the heaviness subsides
Lift me up onto the treetops and release me to the skies
Lift me up…Lift me up…Lift me up…
A flower is a soldier and a butterfly is a thief
A sidewalk is a desert that heaves and buckles in the heat
My thirst is like a canyon and I cannot find relief
So I pray for a cooling breeze to blow on these melting city streets
Refrain:
Bridge:
Love is tenderness, love is war
Love is loneliness, love is more
Love is magical, love is a chore
Love is the ceiling and love is the floor
A crow can wear a thousand masks but a sparrow merely sings
The world is more than what we see and every thought has wings
I challenge you to answer me and tell me what it means
Instead you dare me to wait like glass and see what the Spirit brings
Refrain:
