I'm Dsafe 'cause your Alove lifts me Eto a higher Dground (higher ground)
To a higher Aground.
AWell, I have sat alone at night and Ecried myself to Asleep
And I have prayed my soul to take when Esorrow seems so Adeep.
But Ddarkness turns so quickly to the light of Aday
When someone special came along and Ecarried me aAway.
Chorus:
You lift me Aup when I get down, when I'm Dlost you turn me aAround
Wind and rain can't wash away the peace you give to Eme.
And Din a sea of Atrouble I Eknow that I won't F#mdrown
I'm Dsafe 'cause your Alove lifts me Eto a higher Dground (higher ground)
To a higher Aground.
Troubled times may bring me down and drive me to my knees
And I am blinded by despair and cannot see.
But you take a hold and carry me again
Then I know I'll never break though I sometimes bend.
Chorus
