Lifted
Naughty Boy feat. Emeli Sandй Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel like a superhero, what type of dreams are these
I'm as high as a eagle, I'm taller than the trees
And I can't turn back, I tell my heart relax
Late at night, in the dark, I close my eyes
And suddenly everything is gone

I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Reach up for the light
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Devil can't catch me tonight
I'm not afraid, and I'm not alone
Even if I'm dancing on my own
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted

All I hear is music, I'm losing all control
I have no excuses, can't say I wasn't told
If the sky turns black, I'll tell my heart relax
Late at night, in the dark, I close my eyes
And suddenly everything is gone

I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Reach up for the light
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Devil can't catch me tonight
I'm not afraid, and I'm not alone
Even if I'm dancing on my own
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted

Feels like I finally finally found it
More than I, than I could have ever imagined
After all this waiting and this holding on
Suddenly everything was gone

I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Reach up for the light
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted
Devil can't catch me tonight
I'm not afraid, and I'm not alone




Even if I'm dancing on my own
I'll be lifted, lifted, lifted

I give this 10. I decided to watch this movie based mostly on comments by Alex Carrera and I am truly thankful for the recommendation. I am down a box of tissues but it was so very worth it. This film is beautiful and full of all the emotions. There is love, anger, joy, sadness, and an ending I never saw coming.

Lifted is not only a tribute to the fallen heroes but also a great way for the rest of us who made it back to say one last Thank You to our brothers and sisters who didn't make it back. So THANK you to the film makers who made this film production possible I salute you
