Lift Your Soul

The amber glow of the morning frames you lost in a dream
The rain outside now is pouring, portrait of you so serene

Baptized in your beauty, baptized in your light
I wish you could believe me in the fever of the night

They gave you every reason to hate them
Hate will eat you up inside
Turn the other cheek and forsake them
And in the end, it’ll be alright

Lift your soul
Lift your soul up high
Celebrate yourself with love tonight

Too many lost generations, held them as they slipped away
Showed them mercy and patience, can you show yourself the same?

When the man comes around
Are you gonna stand there and plea?
Or run like a child on the playground
Laughing loud, so wild and free

Lift your soul
Lift your soul up high
Celebrate yourself with love tonight

The soldiers in the streets are bleeding
All we know is falling apart
An army of mothers are grieving
A melody of broken hearts

With open eyes we dance through time for all we cherish as true
You sang your song for the underdog and now I sing for you

Lift your soul
Lift your soul up high
Celebrate yourself with love tonight

Your eyes flutter and open, symphony of rain plays outside
Yesterday is tired and broken, but like the sun you shall rise

You’re the only one who accused you
Exonerate yourself of the crime
Total absolution behooves you
In the end, it’ll be alright

Lift your soul
Lift your soul up high
Celebrate yourself with love tonight
