Above It All Lyrics

INTRO:
| G / / / | G/F# / / / | Em / / / | C / / / |
G W/D G/F#
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
Lord why did you lead me here?
'Cause I, I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face
PRE-CHORUS:
All that I am wants to run
God I feel helpless and undone
G W/D C2
Lift me up above it all
I'm feeling broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
G W/D C2
Lift my heart above it all
I've lost my hope tonight
And (We cannot stand stand alone) I'm (we're) praying for the strength to
carry on Lord will you lift me above it all
TAG:
Above it all
VERSE 2:
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
Cause these streets are hard and cold
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
And all the life that's been misspent
Repeat Pre Chorus and Chorus
BRIDGE:
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
Maybe you want me here tonight
Repeat Chorus 2X
OUTRO:
