I Will Lift This Up

This started out as an instrumental to be used with a video of Mat's next competition. Somehow, I got diverted, and it morphed into I Will Lift You Up as I wrote further lyrics. I then returned to the original plan. There was only ever going to be a short passage of lyrics followed by a longer instrumental outro.

The second version reverts back to the original plan, and new lyrics were written for Mat's version, the music staying the same.

Lyrics

I Will Lift You Up

I Will Lift You Up

I Will Lift You Up

I’ll comfort you my baby

no need for all you crying

I’ve got you now

you’re here with me

So rest your head

And close your eyes

Now go to sleep

Go to sleep

Go to sleep

Lyrics (Mat)

I will lift this up

I will lift this up

I will lift this up,

above my head and shoulders

above the record holders.

I’ve worked for this

And trained for this

I’ve paid my dues

Put in the hours

So now it’s time

To lift it up

And claim my crown
