Lyrics

Lift Us Up

[Verse 1]

Who is the man with the gun in his hand

Without a uniform?

Who is the judge who will not hold a grudge

Against the wrongs of a king?

In the land of the brave money enslaves the rich and the poor

Tell me, where is the sound of the underground?

Clicking a link to forward



[Chorus]

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up



[Verse 2]

Where is the fire that makes men desire

To grow and to build?

Our sense of purpose

Can it be worth all the blood that we spill?

In the midst of this fray

How do we weight the backbone of a saint?

How do we turn these monsters of men

Into something that they ain't?



[Chorus]

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up

Lord lift us up
