Liftin' me up


I am the best I can
Joyful woman
But life ain't always sweet
I gotta keep acknowledging myself
Check in on how I'm doing
I gotta keep loving on me
And you
Got the nerve to be loving me too
This for me and you, baby!

I smile but I get discouraged sometimes
In the back back corner of my aching mind
Even when I use all my loving might
Some things, they just
They won't, they don't go right
And I feel too tired to fight
Trouble seems too dark to light
No summer breeze under my kite
And I just wanna take a Jett plane far far away
But you just sit me down and encourage me
You're like an aloe to my cut

Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You say tomorrow ain't today
Thank you for reminding me
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Thank you for your kindness
Show me the way, c'mon
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You remind me that I'm free
Ain't nothing hindering me, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe for my cut
Keep liftin' me up

I do smile
But I get discouraged sometimes
In the back back corner of my aching mind
Even when I use all my loving might
Sometimes they don't go right
And I feel too tired to fight
Trouble seems too dark to light
No summer breeze under my kitty kite
And I just wanna take a flight far, far away
But you just sit me down and you encourage me
You're like an aloe to my cut

Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You say tomorrow ain't today
Thank you for reminding me, baby
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Thank you for your kindness
Show me the way
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You remind me that I'm free, yeah
Ain't nothing hindering me, no, no, no
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe to my cut
Keep liftin' me up

Me up
I like that
Won't you do that there? Come on
Me up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
I like that
Me up, yeah, yeah
That good good energy

Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
That good good energy, oh yeah
Hey, hey in the sky, yeah
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
And it shows the way, come on
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
You're like an aloe to my cut
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up
Your love keeps liftin' me up, hey hey

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
