Where are You now

When darkness seems to win?

Where are You now

When the world is crumbling?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

...

Where are You now (Where are You?)

When all I feel is doubt?

Oh, where are You now

When I can't figure it out?

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

"Look up..."

You're not threatened by the war

You're not shaken by the storm

I know You're in control

Even in our suffering

Even when it can't be seen

I know You're in control

Oh I, I-I-I, I hear You say

I hear You say

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

"Look up child"

I hear You say, You say, You say (Hey)

"Look up child"

I hear You say, You say, You say (Hey)

Look up, look up, look up, look up

"Look up child"

I hear You say, You say, You say

"Look up child"

I hear You say, You say, You say

Look up, look up, look up, look up

"Look up child"

I hear You say, You say, You say

I hear You, I hear You calling my name, oh

I hear You say, You say, You say

"Look up, look up child", hey

"Look up child", hey

Look up
