Lifted Up (1985)

Tell me, what does it take to make good now?
How many years do you wait?
Oh, and now all of the clouds are combining
That flickering light's just a flame

Oh, but yeah, I'm so tired
I've been away for so many years
But I guess I'll just wait a bit longer
I'll stay 'til they open the gates
Oh, but yeah

All my life, I stayed here waiting
With every new year always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there
But one day you came out of nowhere

1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here

Oh well, how many years has it been now?
How many days went to waste?
Now the rain and the thunder are clashing
The sun's got a smile 'cross the face

Oh, but yeah, I'm so tired
I fight so hard and come back beaten
But beacon, burn through it brightly
Then sour through a sliver of space
Oh, but yeah

All my life, I stayed here waiting
With every new year always making me
Feel as though there's nothing up there
But one day you came out of nowhere

1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here

Lifted up
Lift us back to the sky and the world above
Lifted up
Lifted up

1985 was a good year
The sky broke apart then you appeared
Dropped from the heavens, they called me a dreamer
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
Lifted off the ground
I took your hands and pulled you down
Because 1985 was a good year
I won't lie, I knew you belonged here
