Raise It Up

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Locked in the quiet

Counting every flicker of the screen

Walls got thinner every night

I was half the shape I'd been

Held my breath through winter

Let the cold write on my skin

Till a knock came at my midnight

And the light came pouring in

Pre-Chorus

Now I'm standing on the threshold

Both feet ready to begin

Chorus

This is the victory of love

The war I never planned to win

This is the victory of love

Every scar becomes a hymn

Raise it up

(Sing it loud)

Raise it up

(Love wins out)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Verse 2

Two roads crossed at winter's end

East and west became a thread

You took my trembling hands in yours

And the fear just turned and fled

We built a house from borrowed time

Every brick a yes we said

Now the floorboards hold our dancing

And the morning paints our bed

Pre-Chorus

Every doubt I carried with me

Dropped behind me like a stone

Chorus

This is the victory of love

The war I never planned to win

This is the victory of love

Every scar becomes a hymn

Raise it up

(Sing it loud)

Raise it up

(Love wins out)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Bridge

Maybe I was built for breaking

Maybe you were built to stay

Same heartbeat in two bodies

Same north star on the same day

All the battles I keep losing

Fade to nothing when you say

Chorus

This is the victory of love

The war I never planned to win

This is the victory of love

Every scar becomes a hymn

Raise it up

(Sing it loud)

Raise it up

(Love wins out)

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Oh-oh-oh

We made it through

Outro

We made it through

We made it through

Mm

Mm-hmm
