Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open-air
Wait for us somewhere
There's a time for us
Someday a time for us
Time together with time to spare
Time to care
Someday

We′ll find a new way of living
We'll find there's a way of forgiving

on Resurrect Me (Lift Me Up) (RAW Club Remix)
Lord, I’m tired and weary
Lord, I’ve been lost and alone
Lord, I just want you to hear me
Lord, I just want a real home
Well I’ve been searching (searching)
Wandering (wandering)
Thought I knew what it was best
But I was wrong
And I was hurting and I’m wondering
Can you hear my song?
(Lift me up) Lord, I’m a broken man
(Lift me up) Lord, can you understand me?
(Lift me up) Lord, can you take my hand?
And lift me from this misery?
Oh
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
(Resurrect me) Pick up the pieces
And make me whole (make me whole)
Resurrect me (resurrect me)
And perfect me (and perfect me)
Resurrect my soul
Every day I’ve been working hard
With my back and my bare naked bod
Where is the joy in my life, oh Lord?
Deliver me from the pain and the lies
Well, I’ve been cheated (cheated)
Mistreated (mistreated)
By my lover, my boss, and my friends
Well can you hear it? (Can you hear it?)
Hear my spirit
A cry that never ends
(Lift me up) Lord, I’m a desperate man
(Lift me up) Lord, do you have a plan for me?
(Lift me up) Lord, help me make a stand
And fight to claim my victory
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
Pick up the pieces
And make me whole (make me whole)
Resurrect me (resurrect me)
And perfect me (and perfect me)
Resurrect my soul
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
(Resurrect me) And perfect me
Before the misery takes its toll
Resurrect me (resurrect me)
And perfect me (and perfect me)
Resurrect my soul
(Lift me up) Give me back my mind
(Lift me up) Give me back my heart
(Lift me up) Give me back my life
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
When I find I’m down and weary
And I’m feeling lost and alone
Pick my head up
Lift my hands up
And makes these words my own
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Lift me up)
(Resurrect me) Resurrect me
(Resurrect me) And perfect me
Pick up the pieces and make me whole
(Make me whole)
Give me the power (resurrect me)
Each and every hour (and perfect me)
To stand and take control of my mind
(Got to take control) Of my heart
(Got to take control) Of my body
(Got to take control) Of my life
