Michael McLean - He Looked Up

{Verse 1}
In the distance
The prisoners could see
A crowd around the jail
Called Liberty

{Pre-Chorus 1}
Then the leader of the others
Smiled and told his older brother
"They're all here to guess
Which one is me"

{Verse 2}
"And Hyrum
I predict they all will think it's you
If I were God
You'd be the one I choose"

{Pre-Chorus 2}
"You have the stature and demeanour
Of a great religious leader
You're the one
I'd give the vision to"

{Verse 3}
Then the older
Brother told them
"I know why I wasn't chosen
If it had been me who said that prayer"

{Pre-Chorus 3}
"In the grove with light descending
With eyes closed and weak knees bending
I'd have kept my
Head bowed humbly there"

{Chorus 1}
"But he looked up
And saw a vision
He looked up
And for himself he knew

He looked up
And started on a mission
To show us where
To look to find what's true

He looked up
From darkness and despairing
He looked up
With all his might

He looked up
Accepted that his calling
Would show us where
To look to find the light"

{Bridge}
"And that moment of decision
Changed the way he saw religion
Changed the way he saw
The God of love

Though demanding sacrifices
When he witnesses who Christ is
Others feel their souls
Are change because"

{Chorus 2}
"He looked up
When I'd have kept my head down
He looked up
When I'd have been afraid

He looked up
And life is not the same now
Because he looked up
I'm looking up today"

{Outro}
"He looked up
And life is not the same now
Because he looked up
I'm looking up today"
