Lift Your name up
To the highest place
I will praise You
I will praise You
Giving You
A sacrifice of praise
I will praise You
I will praise You
Right now
Right now
Right now
Lift your hands up
Lift your hands up
Lift your hands up
This is the place
Sit down, you're safe now
You've been stuck in a lift
We've been trying to reach you, Thom
This is the place
It won't hurt, it will not hurt
A smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to go home
This is the place
Remembering all the things you always see
You've been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale
At the bottom of the ocean
A smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to go home
Today is the first day of the rest of your days
Lift Your name up
To the highest place
I will praise You
I will praise You
Giving You
A sacrifice of praise
I will praise You
I will praise You
Right now
Right now
Right now
Lift your hands up
Lift your hands up
Lift your hands up
Count them, every one
All of things you've done
You are the lord of my life
And I roll them over and over
In my head, in my head
But I don't understand
But I'm glad you're in my life
And I lift you up so high
I forget about the world I'm living in
Lay it at your feet
I'm giving in
My joy inside
I cannot hide
I love to lift you up
Lord I love you
You're a father's hand at night
You're the sunshine in the day
And I long to be with you
All my days
In old age if I'm still hanging around
I'll be found around with you
And I lift you up so high
Can't you see there's nothing left to do
Nothing left to say
Memories of you
Never fade away
Deception from the start
A hole inside my heart
Sanity is through
Now I ask you
What are you? Where are you? Who are you? What are you?
As I see them rotting far within
The saint mixes with sin
Mixing very well
Heading straight to hell
What are you? Where are you? Who are you? What are you?
You want to lift me up so I can't run to save myself
You want to push me down so I can't run to save myself
Can't you see the game of lies you play
Makes me rot away
Killing me with you
Now I ask you
What are you? Where are you? Who are you? What are you?
You want to lift me up so I can't run to save myself
Times when I just can't bring myself to say it loud
Afraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry
That is when it seems we move in circles day to day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by
And it feels like fear, like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer, yet I go on
Do we need debate when it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait, like nothing's wrong?
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly
Where all new wonders will appear
Take me high, make me fly in the blue sky
Take my fear, make it fly in this blue
Like the other day, I thought you won't be coming back
I came to realize my lackluster dreams
And among the schemes and all the tricks we try to play
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy
When it feels like fear like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer, yet I go on
So do we need debate when it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait, like nothing's wrong?
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly
Where all new wonders will appear
You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly
Where all new wonders will appear
Take me high, make me fly in the blue sky
Jesus, Jesus, hear us
As we call on you
As we call Your Name
Be pleased Lord
With all that You hear
As we worship You
Oh Lord, please draw near
For we are longing just to glimpse
Your beauty Lord
We lift You up
Lord, we lift You up
We have come to see Your face
Yes, we lift you up
God, we lift you up
Jesus, come and take Your place
Holy, pure and true You are
How we need You Lord
To cleanse us with Your love
So come, Lord
Won't You come, Lord?
(And) as we lift Your Name
Draw all men to You
We're longing to be less ourselves
when narrow minds meet they will combine, and bound by fear they will divide.
but speration can only destroy what`s left. insuring the end of what`s true to
me. true to me. in spite of myself i will seclude myself. in spite of what`s right i
will exclude you. as it filters into the heart sad minds...filters...i watch it die. i
need something to believe in...lift! a fear of what can`t be seen ,building on what
it means...lift!...lift my mind my body and my soul. a fear of what can`t be seen,
Fallen like the rain crashin' down again
Sinkin' all alone
The walls are closin' in, the pain is just beginnin'
A feelin' like I've never known, I've never known
I never wanted to ever hurt you
The trust is broken, salvation
Lift me, lift me up
Forgive me with your touch
Lift me higher
Straight to your love
Shaken to the ground, fear is wrapped around me
Fighting for my life
Shattered by the truth, scattered like the ashes
All that's left of you and I, I realized
All you wanted was something real
And now I'm haunted
Lift me, lift me up
Forgive me with your touch
Lift me higher
Straight to your love
I hear the howlin' of the wind
It's cryin' out your name
I'd give my soul if we could start
All over, all over again
I never wanted to ever hurt you
My world is ending, salvation
Lift me, lift me up
Forgive me with your touch
Lift me higher
Straight to your love
Heal me, save my life
Redeem me, make us one
Lift me higher
No compromise for your control driven nature
Put shit on me cos you know you can't take it
Another bad lie
Another bad feeling
Love the feeling, when you're feeling sour
You contradict yourself in every second sentence
It goes around like a radius circle
Another bad lie
Another bad feeling
Love the feeling, when you're feeling sour
Look in my eyes
Pretend
And it's time that you knew
That I loved you
Could you try to pretend
Speak no lies
You always got your head down in the gutter
But you're tryin' to live it down
So don't splutter
Prime the vein, don't restrain
Cos sharp broken steel can hurt very much
Lift your head up cos you're better than that
Lift your head up cos you're better than that damn
LIft your head up. No compromise
I know you're hurting
Feels like you're learning
'Bout life the hard way
And it ain't working
Seems like forever
That you've been falling
It's time to move on
You're life is calling, yeah
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift
When you can feel your
Whole body's aching
What's left of your heart
It won't stop breaking
You gotta let go
You took a hit
Time to pick up now
Move on from this
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta
Lift yourself up above all the hurt
Don't give it
Wipe your eyes and remember
You're better than this
Let them know
That they took their best shot
And missed
C'mon and lift
This was never meant to be the end
Close the book and start again
Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
You gotta lift
And sometimes that's how it is
But I know you're stronger
Stronger than this
You gotta lift
You gotta lift
Pick up now...

as soon as you leave

we're locked in this way
i can't explain today
it's starting to bend
back to the wall
not again

a leak to the underland

it leads to them
coming back for us
it's starting again
back to the wall
not again

last chance
Hey, kids, get your gear
This is your vacation
Climb aboard this yellow bus
To your destination
Hey, lift man, now lift me up
It's an occupation
And I wanna have a good time
At Alpental, the skiings all at night
With alcohol, your dreams are all in white
Like Idaho, the wintertime
You felt was yours to live
You felt was yours to live
The one good time, you felt was yours to to live
Silver streaks left to mark our tracks
A million miles on empty
Brown baggin' from our packs
I better get me some gin, please
Double Diamond is way too rough
It's an outside regulation
'Cause I wanna have a good time
At Alpental, the skiings all at night
With alcohol, your dreams are all in white
Like Idaho, the wintertime
You felt was yours to live
You felt was yours to live
The one good time you felt was yours to to live
At Alpental, the winter tell you
That was yours to live
That was yours to live
The one good time you felt was yours to to live
And I wanna have a good time
At Alpental, the skiings all at night
With alcohol, your dreams are all in white
Like Idaho, the wintertime
You felt was yours to live
You felt was yours to live
The one good time you felt was yours to to live
At Alpental
At Alpental
At Alpental
Just what will inspire me this time?
What's going to lift me past this time?
I wonder if I should even try,
I wonder if I'll get left behind.
I've been all around this place before,
I've done this a million times or more,
Easy to look, so hard to find,
Reach deep and drag it from inside, and roll it over in my mind.
Too many opitions to decide, so why should I believe in you this time?
You don't have to say it's true, I know it's true.
It's not what you say or do, it's win or lose.
It's not when you fall behind, it's every time.
When I feel like shit, then the music hits, and I'm fine.
What will I say when this one's through?
I'll say that my blood is fucking running throughmy veins today.
I'm singing along and life's okay.
It's still turning over in my mind.
Too many opinions, which one's mine, and why should I believe in you this time?
You don't have to say it's true, I know it's true.
It's not what you say or do, it's win or lose.
It's not when you fall behind, it's every time.
come by just to shoot me up
as soon as you leave
you leave us inside

Being only a man, it’s only natural for me to wonder,
Curiosity piqued,
Skyway, I think upward.
I wish I could question the clouds, all they’ve seen
and heard,
What do they think of me and all I can do?
Yeah.
Being only a man, it’s only natural for me to wander,
Curiosity piqued,
Horizon, I travel onward.
Well, I wish I could walk on forever,
Think of what I’d see and hear,
Picture me treading the earth and all I can do, yeah.
Lift me up, illuminate,
Hold me down, celebrate,
Colour me with your love,
Let me fly with the dove.
Being only a man, it’s only natural for me to wander,
I tread across the ground, find questions instead of
answers.
Everything now is so central inside my heart,
The colour, the rapture consumes me,
Vague, yet so real.
Lift me up, illuminate,
Hold me down, celebrate,
Colour me with your love,
Let me fly with the dove.
Being only a man, it’s only natural for me to wonder
about people like myself, and they’re thinking about
others.
People perplexed as they’re looking for the answers for
me and you,
My best gift is loving-kindness,
It’s all I can do, yeah,
Lift me up, illuminate,
Hold me down, celebrate,
Colour me with your love,
Let me fly with the dove,
Lift me up, illuminate,
Hold me down, celebrate,
Colour me with your love,
heart of stone turned to clay
form me to your ways
Im broken without you
crying out
I lift my eyes
I lift my heart
toward heaven
I see you shining
heavens shining down on me
my eyes are fixed on you
I'm blinded by the truth
I come before you now
crying out
I lift my eyes
I lift my heart
toward heaven
I see you shining
heavens shining down on me
heart of stone turned to clay
form me to your ways
I'm broken without you
crying out
I lift my eyes
I lift my heart
toward heaven
I see you shining
als ich ein kind noch war
da war mir gar nicht klar
wohin die vgel ziehn
wenn kalt schon die winde wehn
der vater lachte leis
die fliehn vor schnee und eis
fliegen nach sden
um immer die sonne zu sehn
nach sden nach sden
wollte ich fliegen
das war mein allerschnster traum
hinter dem hgel
wuchsen mir flgel
um vor dem winter abzuhaun
und heimlich in der nacht
hab ich mich aufgemacht
wollte nach sden gehn
um immer die sonne zu sehn
so lief ich querfeldein
wohl ber stock und stein
doch gar nicht weit hinterm haus
da fiel schon der erste schnee
nach sden nach sden
wollte ich fliegen
das war mein allerschnster traum
hinter dem hgel
wuchsen mir flgel
um vor dem winter abzuhaun
Mein Herz soll ein Wasser sein
ein stilles Wasser
dass noch der kleinste Stein
drin Wellenkreise schlägt
Mein Herz soll ein Wasser sein
ein blaues Wasser
worin der Fisch Sehnsucht
sich glitzernd bewegt
Mein Herz soll ein Wasser sein
ein großes Wasser
so groß wie die Nacht
so groß wie der Tag
Mein Herz soll ein Wasser sein
ein tiefes Wasser
das fremde Neugier nicht
zu loten vermag
Mein Herz soll ein Wasser sein
ein salziges Wasser
das aus den Augen rinnt
wenn es überläuft
Sing it softly
with a breath
Taking off like a rocket
I can't stop it when I start
It all comes crashing down
It all comes crashing down
chorus
I lift my hands
to the sky, to the sky
I'm on my face
Hear my cry
Lord, hear my cry
Wakeup, listen
It's all around
knocks me down
Like an earthquake
Its an outbreak, hold on tight
When you feel it comin round
Can you hear it comin round?
chorus
If you you are lonely you're not alone
If you can dance you
don't need a home
Men are from Mars and
Mars is my enemy
clouds are on fire
telling the sun to burn me
Started last summer
somebody said
don't let the future
go to your head
some say its funny
some say it isn't fair
go tell somebody
who knows how to act like they care
After I play there for the Mars
looking around
so much I've found
I can't seem to get a lift
