I promise that I, I'll keep loving you
Keep loving you, keep loving you
Keep loving you
"Lift Me Up vs bang My Head"
Lift me up, don't hold me down
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down, don't bring me down
Lift me up to higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you now
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down, don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
We are meant to be here for one another
Don't forget you're my sister
You're my brother i'm just like you
I've got troubles on my own
I'm just like you, I am tryna make it home
I dream at night of a better day
You and I in a better place
Don't know how but I know that I'll reach it
Don't know when but I know that we need it
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down, don't bring me down
Lift me up, don't hold me down

Lift me up to higher ground

Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down, don't bring me down
Lift me up to higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you now
Lift me up, don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down, don't bring me down
