I just wanted to thank everyone out there for your prayers, kind words, and encouragement these past few days. My grandfather’s memorial service was beautiful and a real tribute to his kind and gentle spirit.

I was honored when my grandmother asked me to sing “Lift Me Up” at the service. This song will always serve as a reminder of my grandpa to me now. =) Many of you have asked for the lyrics to this song so I have posted them below.

I flew back to Seattle last night in time to play my show and the audience was amazing. We are on our way to Salt Lake City now and so excited for the rest of this tour. Hope to see you at a show!

Thanks again! It means more than you know…

Lift Me Up

This road is anything but simple,
Twisted like a riddle, I’ve seen High, I’ve seen low.
So loud, the voices over my doubts,
Telling me to give up, pack up, leave town.
Even so I had to believe, Impossible means nothing to me,

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames,
I have overcome more than words can ever say,
I’ve been given hope that there’s a light on up the hall,
And a day will come when the fight is won,
I think that day had just begun.

Somewhere, everybody starts there,
Counting on a small prayer, lost in a nightmare.
You’re here, suddenly it’s so clear,
The struggle through the long years,
It’s hard for me to outrun my fears.
But everything that’s worth having,
Comes with trials worth withstanding.

Can you lift me up?
Turn the ashes into flames,
I have overcome more than words can ever say,
I’ve been given hope that there’s a light on up the hall,
And a day will come when the fight is won,
And I think that day has just begun.

Oh lift me up, Oh lift me up,
Oh lift me up, Oh lift me up,

Down and out is overrated,
I need to be elevated,
Looking up is not enough,
I would rather rise above, Oh , Oh , Oh.

Chorus
Lift me up, lift me up, lift me up.

- Kate
