I'll write myself a simple song, get the whole world to sing along I'll call it a love song for you And who knows, I'm liable to take a song from the Bible And then when I'm through, I'll just sing Love lifted me, love lifted me When nothing else would do, you know Love lifted me Everybody's looking for a way to say something Nobody's saying, but that's hard to do They're searching their mind, trying to find a one-of-a-kind way But they could say something new And I just say Love lifted me, love lifted me When I was down and out, you know Love lifted me Love lifted me, love lifted me When nothing else would do, you know Love lifted me, love lifted me Love lifted me When nothing else would do, you know Love lifted me Love lifted me, love lifted me When I was down and out, you know Love lifted me Everybody sing Love lifted me Oh, love lifted me Oh, love lifted me Oh, love lifted me Oh, love lifted me
