Man Upstairs
Can't get it on the highway driving on E
Can't get it sipping on wine or whiskey
Can't get it in a half-smoked cigarette
Won't find it by the light of a lit up screen
Won't find it lucky numbers, hit the lottery
Won't find it in a Friday night stranger's bed
Mmm are you tired and wond'rin what to turn to?
Mmm are you beggin' for a breakthrough?
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Can't have it in a president or politics
Can't have it with war, guns, 'n violence
Can't have it in a cure for the pandemic
No, Ooooo do you feel like the world's against you?
Ooooo lemme tell you Who to turn to
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Lay your burdens down
Let your worries fall
'Cause when you've hit the ground
He will lift you up
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Take it to the Man Upstairs
'Cause when you've hit the ground
He will lift you up
Can't get it sipping on wine or whiskey
Can't get it in a half-smoked cigarette
Won't find it by the light of a lit up screen
Won't find it lucky numbers, hit the lottery
Won't find it in a Friday night stranger's bed
Mmm are you tired and wond'rin what to turn to?
Mmm are you beggin' for a breakthrough?
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Can't have it in a president or politics
Can't have it with war, guns, 'n violence
Can't have it in a cure for the pandemic
No, Ooooo do you feel like the world's against you?
Ooooo lemme tell you Who to turn to
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Lay your burdens down
Let your worries fall
'Cause when you've hit the ground
He will lift you up
If you're looking for peace
If you're looking for hope
You can try to fill your life
With a temporary high
But that's a dead-end road
If you're looking for love
If you're looking for freedom
Trade the bottle for a Bible
And the pain for a prayer
When you're running on empty
Just take it to the Man Upstairs
Take it to the Man Upstairs
'Cause when you've hit the ground
He will lift you up
