[Verse 1] Believe in me, I’ve been at the bottom Cold floor, empty pockets, nothing left to lose Ben lifted me back up, not by my own hands It was the hands above that pulled me through [Pre-Chorus] I was bent like an old fence wire Still, a small flame stayed alive [Chorus] Believe in me, I walked that line I gave it everything I had, one step at a time I may fall sometime, but I won’t stay down Hands from above keep turning me around Believe in me, I’ll lift you up The same hands that raised me when my road got rough [Verse 2] I wore my mistakes like a work-worn coat Kept my head low when the hard years came But mercy found me by the kitchen door And called me back by my own name [Pre-Chorus] Now every scar has something to say Every broken piece found a place [Chorus] Believe in me, I walked that line I gave it everything I had, one step at a time I may fall sometime, but I won’t stay down Hands from above keep turning me around Believe in me, I’ll lift you up The same hands that raised me when my road got rough [Bridge] If your knees give way, lean into mine If the night runs long, we’ll wait for the sign I know what it means to need one more hand I know where the strength to stand began [Final Chorus] Believe in me, I walked that line I gave it everything I had, one step at a time I may fall sometime, but I won’t stay down Hands from above keep turning me around Believe in me, I’ll lift you up The same hands that raised me when my road got rough Believe in the hands from above They lifted me up, they lifted me up [Outro] Believe in me I’m still standing here Believe in me The way I learned to believe
