Elevate

I crossed my fingers
I held my breath
I knew that I would overcome
And open the treasure chest that
The steel city that I know
Taught me to grit my teeth
Dig a little deeper, boy
And feel what lays beneath

The past has brought me here
But it can't hurt me now
No, it can't hurt me now

'Cause I will live like poetry
And I am not who I used to be
Oh, elevate, elevate me
Come lift me up into a life less ordinary

I've been alone
And I've been afraid
I've been blessed with love
And held myself back in ways
Tried to catch my breath
To reach the light
I knew that I was so wrong
But I just could not feel right

The past has brought me here
But it can't hurt me now
No, it can't hurt me now

'Cause I will live like poetry
And I am not who I used to be
Oh, elevate, elevate me
Come lift me up into a life less ordinary

The sun is rising in the key of life
In my sweet dreams, a larger-than-life
The power within us, I'm living proof
If you can believe, you can make it through

I will live like poetry
And I am not who I used to be
Oh, elevate, elevate me
Come lift me up into a life
A life less ordinary
I will live like poetry
And I am not who I used to be
Oh, elevate, elevate me
Come lift me up into a life
A life less ordinary
Into a life less ordinary
