Lord, I lift my friend to you, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to you

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view

Lord, I lift my friend up to you

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear

I pray for your wisdom, oh god, and a heart that's sincere

Lord, I lift my friend up to you

Lord, I lift my friend to you

My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to you

I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

And lord, I lift my friend up to you

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him

But you know where that leads

He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings

Lord, I lift my friend up to you

My friend up to you

Lord, I lift my friend to you, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to you
