Lift Me Up

(album: Listen - 2014)

Inside us all there's a hero to discover
There's no way we can try off without your struggle
I'm just like you. Are you trying to bring me down?
I'm just like you. Help me turn this thing around

I dream at night of a better day
You and I in a better place
Don't know how, but I know that I'll reach it
Don't know when, but I know that we need it

Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Lift me up to higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you now
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down

We are meant to be here for one another
Don't forget: you're my sister, you're my brother
I'm just like you. I've got troubles of my own
Just like you. I am trying to make it home

I dream at night of a better day
You and I in a better place
Don't know how, but I know that I reach it
Don't know when, but I know that we need it

Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Lift me up to a higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you now
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down

Oh oh oh
Ah ah ah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Don't bring me down
Oh oh oh
Ah ah ah
Yeah yeah yeah

Ungisize we mgani wami bo

Ungisize we mgani wami

Inside us all there's a hero to discover
There's no way we can try off your struggle
I'm just like you. Are you trying to bring me down?
I'm just like you. Help me turn this thing around
