let your love lift me up
lifts away this night
behind the morning clouds
Lift me up and i ll fall, let your love lift me up
This heartbeat, your hand upon my neck, or the secrets that you hold
Your hand upon my neck, i don t need your answered prayers
Let your love lift me up, or the chains your lover wears
Lift me up and i ll fall, or the secrets that you hold, your fingers on my skin
this heartbeat
We will find our love, with you lift me up
we will find our love
Your hand upon my neck, we will find our love
or the chains your lover wears
This heartbeat, i don t need your rings of gold
And the light above, and the light above
with you lift me up
or the chains your lover wears
Let your love lift me up, let your love lift me up, your fingers on my skin
behind the morning clouds
with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up, your hand upon my neck
With you lift me up, i don t need your sacred vow Springsteen, i don t need your rings of gold
let your love lift me up
Lift me up and i ll fall, i don t need your rings of gold, let your love lift me up
Your fingers on my skin, i don t need your rings of gold Up, we will find our love
this wilderness
this wilderness
When the morning bright, behind the morning clouds, i don t need your answered prayers
Your hand upon my neck, let your love lift me up
I don't need your answered prayers
Or the chains your lover wears
I don't need your rings of gold
Or the secrets that you hold
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
I don't need your sacred vow
Or the promise tomorrow brings
There behind the morning clouds
I'll take the faith the daylight brings
Lift me up, darling
Lift me up, and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up
When the morning bright
Lifts away this night
And the light above
We will find our love, we will find our love
Your skin, your hand upon my neck
This skin, your fingers on my skin
This kiss, this heartbeat this breath
This heart, this heart this wilderness
Lift me up darling
Lift me up and I'll fall with you lift me up
Let your love lift me up

This is a very beautiful song. I can relate to the lyrics as they remind me of times of trauma when I needed support and friends, but no one was there. While it is nice to have nurturing and supportive friends, those friends are impermanent.
I have found that ultimately we must lift ourselves up. There is no way to happiness, Happiness is the way.
This is the sort of song which demonstrates the true unique genius of Bruce Springsteen as a songwriter. So many people just see him as a great rocker and american troubador, whereas the reality is than he can write such a wide range of material and has done so brilliantly over a 40 year period. Absolutely nobody can compare with him when it comes to consistancy of quality over such a period of time. Lift me up is a beautiful, evocative song.
I love this song, it gives people with mental illness hope and courage . It somehow feels like helps me to be strong. It relaxes my soul and brings me peace. I hope it brings other people peace. Thank you for this song.
Anyone listening in 2020? Did you know Bruce did EVERYTHING on this song? All vocals, all instruments, all recording....this is entirely the work of one man.
Bruce said that he wanted the song to be airy, ethereal. It amazes me that this song can be simultaneously so ethereal yet so weighty and immense. It might be easy to mistake this as a song of grief, given the mournful final minute. For me, it’s a song of intense longing, mixed with loneliness.
As Bruce gets older his music becomes much more haunting. It seems as if he is exploring more of where he can take his music and I find this so damn awesome. Bruce always could kick some ass and now he is just getting better!
