Lift me up

This road is anything but simple
Twisted like a riddle
I've seen high and I've seen low

So loud, the voices of all my doubts
Telling me to give up
To pack up and leave town

But even so I had to believe
Impossible means nothing to me

So can you lift me up?
And turn the ashes into flames
'Cause I have overcome more than words will ever say

And I've been given hope
That there's a light on up the hall

And that a day will come when the fight is won
And I think that day has just begun

Somewhere, everybody starts there
Counting on a small prayer
Lost in a nightmare

But I'm here and suddenly it's so clear
The struggle through the long years
It taught me to outrun my fears

And everything that's worth having
Comes with trials worth withstanding

Down and out is overrated
and I need to be elevated

Looking up is not enough
No, I would rather rise above
