Lyrics

Lifted

[Verse 1]

Bound to this lonely road

You gave me hope

Gave me hope

Woke my drifting soul

And led me home

Led me home

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Won't you just stay here?

Chase away my fears

Solve my mysteries

Won't you just stay here?

Chase away my fears

Set my spirit free

[Chorus]

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days?

Keep them softly spoken

(Keep them softly spoken)

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

(Keep my eyes from closing)

Oo

Lifted away from my demons

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

Oo

Lifted away from my secrets

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

[Verse 2]

Oh, my heavy bones

They weigh me down

Weigh me down

Held by a single thread

When you are gone

When you're gone

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Won't you just stay here?

Chase away my fears

Solve my mysteries

[Chorus]

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days?

Keep them softly spoken

(Keep them softly spoken)

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

(Keep my eyes from closing)

Oo

Lifted away from my demons

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

Oo

Lifted away from my secrets

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

[Bridge]

If you start to fade

I will keep you safe

Like you do

And if you feel afraid

I will keep your faith

Like you do

[Chorus]

Won't you lead the way

Through my darker days?

Keep them softly spoken

(Keep them softly spoken)

Show me the way

To a brighter place

Keep my eyes from closing

(Keep my eyes from closing)

Oo

Lifted away from my demons

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

Oo

Lifted away from my secrets

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah

[Outro]

Eh yeah eh yeah, eh yeah eh yeah
