Lavishly our lives are wasted Humbleness is left untasted You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah That's a tip from my mistake Exactly what it doesn't take To win you've got to come in last place To live your life you've got to lose it And all the losers get a crown {chorus}: I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up I get down All I need's another day Where I can't seem to get away From the many things that drag me down, yeah I'm sure you've had a day like me When nothing seems to set you free From burdens you can't carry all alone In you weakness He is stronger In your darkness He shines through When you're crying He's your comfort When you're all alone, He's carrying you I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up I get down I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up I get down, He lifts me up Everytime I'm down the Lord lifts me up This valley is so deep I can barely see the sun I cry out for mercy, Lord And You lift me up again
