Lift

Lift                 Drop D tuning

Lying here
Under this pile of heavy burdens
My greatest hope of saving me
Is above the weeded garden

I need no glasses
No instrument of sight
For the only thing that can show me truth
Is the vision of my soul

And the burden lifts above the sky
And tumbles into infin  ity
So the life of me is eternally restored
And I need to fear no more

This shroud of dark has disappeared
Vanished into the brink of nothing
And so the dead will rise again and walk
Into this land of glowing sunrise

Then the light will lift me up
And take me to darkness grave
Where all the pain and hurt are laid to rest
And the light has broken through

To this wondrous land where not a shadow roams
And the all-surrounding light flies forever
So life is drawn into my lungs, my heart and soul
With each eternal breath

I will live and love
I will live and love
I will live and love
for eternity
Standing in this place
