Lift Us Up Lift us up, where we have fallen
In the dark and lonely night
In the fury, hear our call and
Turn our faces to the light
Where our heads are bent in sorrow
Raise our broken hearts to thee
With the promise of tomorrow
And our land both safe and free
Bring compassion to the grieving
Comfort those whose loved ones, dear
Perished, somehow unbelieving,
When this madness happened here
Lift us up!
Bless those heroes of September
Who will not be turning home
Bless the ones who will remember
Bless us all in days to come
Lift us up!
Though our paths to you may vary
When your children call your name
Let your mercy never tarry
We are all of us the same
'Til the world is safe from terror
And we walk the earth in peace
Let no man believe in error
Our resolve will never cease
Lift us up!
