Skillet - Lift Me Up Lyrics

Skillet Lyrics

"Lift Me Up"

(Oh)
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it
(Oh)
(Oh)

Past the edge, the fire below me
Flames of fear, the voice that keeps taunting me
Can't escape the past, my prison
Shame, I wake to the voice that keeps calling me
(Voice that keeps calling me)

Lift me up, not backing down
Let the demons come
I'm breathing dragon fire, they'll never drag me down
I won't give up and I won't give in
So lift me up
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it

(Oh)
Not gonna die tonight
I'm gonna rise above it
(Oh)

Black, the oil, it drips like sorrow
Pulls me close, it rips you away from me
Takes control, it's veiled in shadows
Still I know that this ain't my destiny
(This ain't my destiny)

Lift me up, not backing down
Let the demons come
I'm breathing dragon fire, they'll never drag me down
I won't give up and I won't give in
So lift me up
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it

(Lift me up)
So lift me up (Lift me up)
Not gonna die tonight
I'm gonna rise above it

Lifting me up, it's my time to fly
Lifting me up, I'm not gonna die
Never give up, I'm coming alive
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it
Lifting me up, it's my time to fly
Lifting me up, I'm not gonna die
Never give up, I'm coming alive
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it

Lift me up, not backing down
Let the demons come
I'm breathing dragon fire, they'll never drag me down
I won't give up and I won't give in
So lift me up
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it
(Lift me up)
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it
(Lift me up)
I'm breathing dragon fire, they'll never drag me down
I won't give up and I won't give in
So lift me up (Lift me up)
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it

(Oh) Lifting me up, lifting me up
(Oh) Never give up
Not gonna die tonight, I'm gonna rise above it
