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
