Inside a song, there's a hero to discover
There's no way we can try off without struggle
I'm just like you
Are you trying to bring me down
I'm just like you
Help me turn this thing around
I dream at night
Off of better day
You and I, in a better place
Don't know how but I know that I'll reach it
Don't know when but I know that we're leaving

Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up
To higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you know
Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down

We are meant to be here for one another
Don't forget you're my sister you're my brother
I'm just like you I got troubles on my own
Just like you I am trying to make it home
I dream at night of a better day
You and I, in a better place

Don't know how but I know that I'll reach it
Don't know when but I know that we're leaving

Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down
Lift me up
To higher ground
Not too proud to say I need you know
Lift me up
Don't hold me down
I don't wanna be down
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down

Inside a song, there's a hero to discover
There's no way we can try off without struggle
I'm just like you
Are you trying to bring me down

I'm just like you
Help me turn this thing around
