Whitney Houston - I Look To You Lyrics

Whitney Houston Lyrics

"I Look To You"

As I lay me down
Heaven hear me now
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all
Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you, I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you, I hear a song
I look to you

About to lose my breath
There's no more fighting left
Sinking to rise no more
Searching for that open door
And every road that I've taken, mmm
Led to my regret
And I don't know if I'm gon' make it
Nothing to do but lift my head

I look to you
I look to you, yeah
And when all my strength is gone
In you, I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you, oh yeah
And when melodies are gone
In you, I hear a song
I look to you

My levees are broken (Oh Lord)
My walls are coming down on me (Coming down on me)
All the rain is falling (My rain is falling)
Defeat is calling (Set me free)
I need you to set me free
Take me far away from the battle
I need you
Shine on me

I look to you
I look to you
After all my strength is gone
In you, I can be strong
I look to you
I look to you
And when melodies are gone
In you, I hear a song
I look to you

I look to you
Ooh
I look to you

The first single and the title track from the album.

Whitney Houston explained this song during one of the listening parties by saying, "The last several years spiritually, this song says all I wanted to say. There are times in life when we go through certain situations - some not so good. You have to reach for a higher strength, you have to reach deep inside yourself, spend time with yourself to make some corrections that go beyond your own understanding and lean on a higher understanding."

R. Kelly, who wrote this song, performed it at Whitney Houston's funeral at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey, on the 18th of February 2012.
