I Look To You
Glee Cast feat. Amber Riley Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through

Who on earth can I turn to

I look to You
I look to You

After all my strength is gone
In YHou I can be strong

I look to You
I look to You
Yeah

And when melodies are gone
In You I hear a song

I look to You, You

About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken, mmm
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gon' make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to You
I look to You
Yeah

And when all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong

I look to You
I look to You
Oh

And when melodies are gone, yeah
In You I hear a song

I look to You (my levees are broken)
Levees are broken (my walls are coming)
Walls come down (tumbling down on me)
Tumbling down on me (the rain is falling)
Rain is falling (defeat is calling)
'Feat is calling (I need You to set me free)

Need You to set me free
Send me far away from the battle
I need You
Shine on me

I look to You
I look to You
After all my strength is gone
In You I can be strong
I look to You (to You)
I look to You, ohh, ooh (oh-oh-oh)
And when melodies are gone, yeah (melodies are gone)
In You I hear a song

I look to You
Yeah
I look to You

Ooh
I look to You

Line by Line Meaning

As I lay me down
As I rest my body

Heaven hear me now
Heavenly powers, please listen to me

I'm lost without a cause
I feel directionless

After giving it my all
After putting in all my effort

Winter storms have come
Difficult times have come

And darkened my sun
And made me lose hope

After all that I've been through
After all the challenges I've faced

Who on earth can I turn to
Who can I rely on?

I look to You
I seek your help

After all my strength is gone
When I am weak

In You I can be strong
I can find strength in you

And when melodies are gone
And when my joy is lost

In You I hear a song
I can find hope in you

About to lose my breath
Almost out of energy

There's no more fighting left
Nothing left to fight with

Sinking to rise no more
Sinking without the hope of rising again

Searching for that open door
Looking for a way out

And every road that I've taken, mmm
Every path I've chosen

Led to my regret
Has caused me to feel regret

And I don't know if I'm gon' make it
I'm unsure if I can do this

Nothing to do but lift my head
The only option is to keep going

Levees are broken (my walls are coming)
I am vulnerable and my defenses are collapsing

Walls come down (tumbling down on me)
Barriers I've built are falling apart and causing me trouble

Rain is falling (defeat is calling)
I'm facing additional difficulties and feeling defeated

'Feat is calling (I need You to set me free)
I need divine guidance to break free from these feelings

Need You to set me free
I need you to help me overcome my troubles

Send me far away from the battle
Get me out of this struggle

I need You
I need divine aid

Shine on me
Help me find hope and light

I look to You, ohh, ooh (oh-oh-oh)
I lean on you for support

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

Have to lose my breath
There's no fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door

And every road that I've taken
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm go'n make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you

My levees are broken
My walls are coming down on me
My rain is falling
Defeat is calling
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me!

I look to you,
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you I can be strong
I look to you,
I look to you
And when melodies are gone In you I hear a song
I look to you
