A youth sixteen, her head filled with dreams
Aloving family, it seems
Dear God, save me, I?ve lost my way home
Direction unknown, to me

Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
I?ve gone away, and I don?t need your sympathy

Thank you kindly, being there for me
Through eternity, softly
Dear God, help me, I bid you farewell
It?s the end for me, finally

Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
I?ve gone away, and I don?t need your sympathy

You make me feel like I?m really alive
I?ll still be with you, after I?ve died

Now is the time
You?ve been given the signs
So, I confide
To just leave the world behind

You make me feel like I?m really alive
I?ll still be with you, after I?ve died

I fell behind
Tried to run and hide
So, I confide
To just leave the world behind

Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
Put me away in your mental publicity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
I?ve gone away, and I don?t need your sympathy

Lift me up, lift me up, and save me
I?m here to stay, I?m a simple complexity
Bring me down, bring me down, and fake me
I?ve gone away, and I don?t need your sympathy
