Matthew West - Looking Up Lyrics

Daddy was a preacher The man I wanted to be No, he didn't wear a cape and he couldn't fly But he was a hero to me Even heroes are human But there's one thing I always knew The whole time I was lookin' up to him He was lookin' up to You, You, You, You

Now I'm somebody's daddy I got two beautiful girls They look at me like they think I hung the moon And I feel the weight of their world And I don't know how to lead them So, lead my every move 'Cause I know those eyes lookin' up to me That's why I'm lookin' up to You, You, You, You

I don't wanna take a step unless You lead it I don't wanna speak a word unless You breathe it God I'm lookin' up, keep me lookin' up Lookin' up to the light I know will guide me And I pray every day You find me Find me lookin' up, always lookin' up

I've been workin' my whole life To stand up on this stage In front of a crowd under the bright lights Yeah, but one thing has changed I used to dream of the day it was my name That everybody knew Now I know that You led me here to leave 'em Lookin' up to You, You, You

I don't wanna take a step unless You lead it I don't wanna speak a word unless You breathe it God I'm lookin' up, keep me lookin' up Lookin' up to the light I know will guide me And I pray every day You find me Find me lookin' up, always lookin' up To You

Can we look it up, yeah Always lookin' up Lord, I'm lookin' up to You I'm lookin' up to You

Dear Lord, when I'm tempted to look at the world around me for satisfaction only You can provide, keep me lookin' up to You. When troubles surround me, and I'm tempted to fix my eyes on my circumstances, keep me lookin' up to You. I'm tryin' to lead my family, help me remember that starts by followin'. Lord, keep me lookin' up to You. Always lookin' up to You. Amen.
