Lifted
Eurythmics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Walk through the dark
Just when you feel that
Your day fell apart
Stay strong
Keep holding on
Clear skies ahead and the dark day is done
Keep on lifted
I wish you everything
That you could want
Just when the day finds you
Turned back to front
Stay clear
Rescue is near
When you feel
That you're drowned in despair
Keep on lifted
Keep on lifted
You're a bird in the sky now baby
Earthbound
Feet on the ground
Now you can find peace at last
Now you can find peace at last
