Above It All (New York Subways)
C B/G
Oh I'm waiting for the answer to the question in my soul
Am F
Lord why did you lead me here?
C B/G
I take a look around and a desperate world surrounds me
Am F
I know I'm not of this place, but its here and in my face
Am G F
All that I am wants to run
Am G F
God I feel hopeless and undone
C F
Lift me up above it all
Am G
I'm feeling broken and alone
F C
Don't let me turn to stone
C F
Lift my heart above it all
Am G
I've lost my hope tonight
C F
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
F G C
Lord lift me up above it all
C B/G
Now I'm waiting for a glimpse of hope in an eye
Am F
But a flash of sunlight shows a faded gray
C
Cause these streets are hard and cold
B/G Am
And the alleys burn like coal with a stench of helplessness
F
And all the life that's been misspent
Am G F
And all that I am wants to run
Am G
God I feel helpless and undone
C F
Lift me up above it all
Am G
I'm feeling broken and alone
F C
Don't let me turn to stone
C F
Lift my heart above it all
Am G
I've lost my hope tonight
C F
And I'm praying for the strength to carry on
F G C
Lord lift me up above it all
Bridge
F Am G
Maybe I'm not supposed to fly
F M G
Maybe you want me here tonight
To lift them up above it all
When they're broken and alone
Don't let me turn to stone
Lift them up above it all
Cause they cannot stand alone
And they're praying for the strength to carry on
Lift us up above it all
When we're broken and alone
Don't let us turn to stone
Lift us up above it all
Because we cannot stand alone
And we're praying for the strength to carry on
Lord will you lift us up above it all
