Look Up
Gateway Next Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look in the mirror I'm an ordinary kid
I'm just like you only a little bit different
all by myself you wouldn't think that could do much
but let me tell you what it's like yo be amazing

When I look up I see the way
he looks at me
he says I can do anything
when I look in all that I see
is everything that I was meant to be
when I look out I know that there'sss
a world that's waiting on me
'cause I got the answeeer
Jesus living big inside of me

ABout to start the race
so come along with me
I want to show you how you can do anything
there's something more you than every body sees
'cause you're amazing

When I look up I see the way
he looks at me
he says I can do anything
when I look in all that I see
is everything that I was meant to be
when I look out I know that there'sss
a world that's waiting on me
'cause I got the answeeer
Jesus living big inside of me

2 x
I got the answeeer
He lives inside of me




I got the answeeer
He lives inside of me
