Hanson - I Lift You Up Lyrics

We had to struggle at the start
I still have scars on my hands
But sometimes the things that we need
We were never worthy to receive
And only time can understand

Don't run from me now
I know you're scared like a lamb
But I'll never regret who you are
You've grown so much
To come so far
And now you're standing at the edge

When the darkness comes
And you're lying in bed
Surrounded by voices
Like the voices in your head
You will never need to despair
I will be here

I, I lift you up
From the bottom of my heartache
And I, I wish you well
From the top of every summit

I weep for you

I made you all that you are
No matter how far you roam
Like planting seeds in the soil
I'd water flowers with tears of joy
If crying eyes would bring you home

Each child that learns from his father
Will take a piece of his soul
How could I hope for something less
A fragile wish cast on a thread
If feeling this pain could make you whole

When the water rises
Stealing your breath
Chilling your heart
As it beats in your chest
You will never need to despair
I will be here

I, I lift you up
From the bottom of my heartache
And I, I wish you well
From the top of every summit

I weep for you
