lyrics

Looking Up (featuring Joel Parisien)
Words and Music by Ali Matthews © 2019 (SOCAN)

Sometimes the road is narrow
Sometimes the light is dim
Sometimes you find there ain’t no way out
of the mess you got yourself in
Maybe you got no money
Maybe you got no friends
So you’re giving up hope
Now you’re holding that rope
and you’re thinking it might be the end

Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up

Storming the doors of Heaven
Flooding your anger with tears
Got a poison past and a face downcast
You’ve been wrestling all of your fears
but Doubt is a thief and a liar
and Trouble it knows your name
So come find your place
you are marked by grace
and Love, it is stronger than shame

Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up

See the light above you
There’s someone who loves you
You are broken but you are chosen
You are intimately known
You’re a child of the Father
You are never alone, never alone, never alone
Whoa, somebody loves you, Whoa

Sometimes the road is narrow
Sometimes the light is dim
Sometimes you find there ain’t no way out
of the mess you got yourself in
Well you had a voice that fell silent
now you’re leaving your heart on the shelf
Come on, lift your eyes, look up to the skies
Believe in your beautiful self

Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up
(Repeat)
