Looking Up - Matthew West

Daddy was a preacher

The man I wanted to be

No, he didn’t wear a cape and he couldn’t fly

But he was a hero to me

Well, even heroes are human

But there’s one thing I always knew

The whole time I was looking up to him

He was looking up to you, you, you

Now I’m somebody’s daddy

I got two beautiful girls

They look at me like they think I hung the moon

And I feel the weight of their worlds

I don’t know how to lead them

So lead my every move

'Cause I know those eyes looking up to me

That’s why I’m looking up to you, you, you

I don’t wanna take a step unless you lead it

Don’t wanna speak a word unless you breathe it

God, I’m looking up (Looking up), keep me looking up (Looking up)

Looking up to the light I know will guide me

And I pray everyday you find me

Find me looking up (Looking up), always looking up (Looking up)

I’ve been working my whole life

To stand up on this stage

In front of a crowd under the bright lights

Yeah, but one thing has changed

I used to dream of the day it was my name

That everybody knew

But now I know you led me here to leave 'em

Looking up to you, you, you

I don’t wanna take a step unless you lead it

Don’t wanna speak a word unless you breathe it

God, I’m looking up (Looking up), keep me looking up (Looking up)

Looking up to the light I know will guide me

And I pray everyday you find me

Find me looking up (Looking up), always looking up

To you

Keep me looking up, yeah, always looking up

Lord, I’m looking up to you, hope I’m looking up to you, oh-oh

Dear Lord, when I’m tempted to look at the world around me

For satisfaction only you can provide

Keep me looking up to you

When trouble surrounds me and I’m tempted to fix my eyes on my circumstances

Keep me looking up to you

I’m trying to lead my family

Help me remember that starts by following

Lord, keep me looking up to you

Always looking up to you

Amen
