up from your life
james taylor
so much for your moment of prayer
god's not at home there is no there
left here on your own. you can only hope to live on this earth
for all it's worth. nothing else awaits you
no starry crown. for an unbeliever like you
there's not much they can do that would turn you away. though i hate to see you surrender
we must find you a way to
look on up from your life
look up from your life. there's a river running under your feet
under this street. straight from the heart
on its way back home. even in the middle of your sadness
the ongoing game. even when you can't find a reason
you don't need to name it. look on up
look on up from your life
look up from your life. oh
even for a minute to find yourself in it
to wait by the stream to drop out of your dream
look on up from your life
look up from your life. look up from your life
look on up from your life
