Lift me up, take me high
Take me higher than I've been before
I need time, time to find the road to my destiny
Heaven, help me
On the cloud to happiness is where I wanna be
Still, in my mind, I'm running out o' time
So, heaven, lift me up

Scared to laugh, scared to cry
For fear of my own contradiction
Maybe I should try and cover moral reason
For God's sake, heaven, lift me up

Was it supposed to be this way?
Had too much of my own say
Never thought that I'd be standing at the gates of heaven
At the gates of heaven
Heaven lift me up
Come on, lift me (lift me up, ooh, oh-oh, yeah)

Take me high, above the clouds, where the birds fly
I'm feelin' free
Let heaven do the work for me
Lookin'-over this crazy city where we're livin'
I've seen it, done it
It's just the way I've been

Was it supposed to be this way?
Had too much of my own say
Never thought that I'd be standing at the gates of heaven
At the gates of heaven
Heaven lift me up
Come on, lift me (lift me up, ooh, oh-oh, yeah)

Take it, move it, feel like it's yours
Hopin' you'll find what you're lookin' for, baby (baby, what you lookin' for?)
Take it, move it, feel like it's yours
Hopin' you'll find what you're lookin' for, baby (baby, what you lookin' for?)

I won't fail (I won't fail)
I won't break (I won't break)
No way (no way, no)

At the gates of heaven (never thought that I'd be standing–)
At the gates of heaven (–at the gates of heaven)
At the gates of heaven, at the gates of heaven
(At the gates of heaven)
At the gates of heaven (never thought that I'd be standing–)
At the gates of heaven (heaven, lift me up)

Take it, move it, feel like it's yours
Hopin' you'll find what you're lookin' for, baby (baby, what you lookin' for?)
Take it, move it, feel like it's yours
Hopin' you'll find what you're lookin' for, baby (baby, what you lookin' for?)
