Said Lord raise me up from the ground, yeah
I've been here too long
I said Lord raise me up from the ground
I've been here too long
I said Lord raise me up from the ground, yeah
I've been here too long
I said Lord won't you raise me up from the ground?
Yo, oh yeah, oh
Said I been gone for so long, where my mind been at?
Won't you please wake me up, won't you please bring me back?
Daydream fantasy and my mind went to sleep
Eyes closed up from you with my heart heavy
Won't you please wake me up and shake me up and take me up?
Said Babylon will make me shock wave, yes I had enough
So open up and lift the gates, redemption coming like a run away truck
Op! Diggy do-do-do
You make my heart want to serve You and I'm bound to erupt
You lift me up from quick sand in a world gone corrupt
No longer stuck up up and away we go, Yerushalayim is my home
Said Lord raise me up from the ground
I've been here too long
I said Lord raise me up from the ground, op
Lord raise me up from the ground
I've been here too long, yo-oh, yeah
Yeah base man, oo-oh!
Rhythm say!
When it started it'd be etched into my brain elevation
The shield that David blazed, into my brain waves
And I'm raisin' my soul like a sword in ancient days
When protection surrounded me like the sun's rays
Started it'd be etched into my brain elevation
The shield that David blazed, into my brain waves
I'm raisin' my soul like a sword in ancient days
When protection surrounded me like the sun's rays
Lord raise me up from the ground
I've been here too long
I said Lord raise me up from the ground
I said Lord raise me up from the ground
I've been here too long, yeah
