Up From Your Life Lyrics - James Taylor

So much for your moment of prayer 

God's not at home 

There is no there there 

Lost in the stars 

That's what you are 

Left here on your own 

You can only hope to live on this earth 

This here is it, for all it's worth 

Nothing else awaits you 

No second birth 

No starry crown 

For an un-believer like you 

There's not much they can do 

It would turn you away 

Though I hate to see you surrender 

You need to surrender 

We must find you a way to 

Chorus: 

Look up from your life 

Up from your life 

Look on up from your life 

Look up from your life 

There's a river running under your feet 

Under this house 

Under this street 

Straight from the heart 

Ancient and sweet 

On it's way back home 

Even in the middle of your sadness 

The everyday madness 

The ongoing game 

Even when you can't find a reason 

Still there is a reason 

You don't need to name it 

Look on up 

Look up from your life 

Only for a minute 

To find yourself in it 

To wait by the stream 

To drop out of your dream 

Look on up 

Look up from your life
