Above It All

     C                           B/G
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
    Am                  F
Lord why did you lead me here?
       C                   B/G
I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
      Am                           F
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face
        Am     G      F
All that I am wants to run
      Am      G       F
God I feel hopeless and undone

      C            F
Lift me up above it all
            Am      G
I'm feeling broken and alone
       F              C
Don't let me turn to stone
      C             F
Lift my heart above it all
       Am     G
I've lost my hope tonight
           C                      F
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
      F            G      C
Lord lift me up above it all

          C                    B/G
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
               Am                   F
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
               C
Cause these streets are hard and cold
        B/G                        Am
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
              F
And all the life that's been misspent
              Am     G      F
And all that I am wants to run
             Am       G
God I feel helpless and undone

      C            F
Lift me up above it all
             Am     G
I'm feeling broken and alone
      F              C
Don't let me turn to stone
      C             F
Lift my heart above it all
       Am     G
I've lost my hope tonight
           C                      F
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
    F              G      C
Lord lift me up above it all

Bridge

F          Am             G
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
F         Am              G
Maybe you want me here tonight

To lift them up above it all
When they're broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift them up above it all
Cause they cannot stand alone
And they're praying for the strength to carry on
Lift us up above it all
When we're broken and alone
Don't let us turn to stone
Lift us up above it all
Because we cannot stand alone
And we're praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will you lift us up above it all
