Lyrics James Taylor

James Taylor

Up from Your Life

So much for your moment of prayer

God's not at home

There is no there there

Lost in the stars

That's what you are

Left here on your own

You can only hope to live on this earth

This here is it, for all it's worth

Nothing else awaits you

No second birth

No starry crown

For an un-believer like you

There's not much they can do

It would turn you away

Though I hate to see you surrender

You need to surrender

We must find you a way to

Look up from your life

Up from your life

Look on up from your life

Look up from your life

There's a river running under your feet

Under this house

Under this street

Straight from the heart

Ancient and sweet

On its way back home

Even in the middle of your sadness

The everyday madness

The ongoing game

Even when you can't find a reason

Still there is a reason

You don't need to name it

Look on up

Look up from your life

Only for a minute

To find yourself in it

To wait by the stream

To drop out of your dream

Look on up

Look up from your life
