Lyrics
Man up in the sky
I know that it makes you want to cry
To see the world that you put together
Changing, just like the weather
Man up in the sky, way up above my head
I know that you can hear every word I've said
There are those who don't believe in what they cannot see
But I know that you are there and you live inside of me, oh yeah
(Man up in the sky, man in the sky)
In your image, you created me
You gave me the wisdom to survive
Oh, Lord, I believe in your fate for me
While others pass you by, whoa
(Man up in the sky) Man up in the sky, I know you hear my song
(Man up in the sky) You always lead
Me right when you see me going wrong
(Man up in the sky) I know that you are there, your love is everywhere
(Man up in the sky) And I raise my hands to you, man up in the sky
(It's all up to you, man in the sky) Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Man up in the sky) Man up in the sky, way up above my head
(Man up in the sky) I know you always hear every word I've said
(Man up in the sky) I said that we need help for all of us that love
(Man up in the sky) And it's all up to you, man up in the sky
(It's all up to you, man in the sky) Whoa, yeah, mmm
Father, I know I'm calling on you
Whoa, Father, I said Father
Ooh, I know you'll see me through
Well, well, yes, you will, ooh
(You live inside of me, man in the sky)
You live inside of you, inside of me, oh yeah
(Man up in the sky, man in the sky)
