Record Tracklist

  1. Elevate -:-- / -:--

Look at you, standing up there
A quivering lip you pray no one can see
But it’s beautiful to me
Opening your mouth, words you have
Chiseled on your heart come tumbling out
Doesn’t matter how they hear it
Look at you standing
Look at you
Look at you standing

You elevate me
Your power, it makes me soar
Just seeing you make it: maybe I can
You dared and it raised me
I’m seeing from higher up
Just watching you brave it elevates me

Look at you, filling that floor
Your limbs create the wind that sweeps me up
You move because your body must
A stumble there; you hope the watchers are unaware
But I know you can fly
My heart leaps with you every time
Look at you dancing
Look at you
Look at you dancing

Just what I needed to see
Someone to help me believe
Don’t wait to be fearless
