Soundcloud - Lift my eyes (guitar version)
I posted a version and history of this song a few days ago HERE . Chay (WaoBand) said HERE he'd like to hear the new lyrics on the 2018 recording, so this is it.
Which version do I like best? I'm going to have to detox from listening for a few weeks before I can objectively comment.

Song Summary
Style is ORDINARY.STY - which was my own style based on a forgotten BIAB midi style - probably just the midi rhythm guitar added. In this version, the RealDrums listed below are the remnant from BIAB.

LYRICS
INTRO

VERSE 1
It’s the luck of the draw I guess or the hand of fate’s caress
Or it’s grip around my neck Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo
But I won’t be portrayed in a negative kind of way
I’ll give that doubt away Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo

CHORUS 1
I lift my eyes to see, the man I’m meant to be
I’m stepping past the shadows that once followed me
I won’t speak that way again I’ve left that voice behind
I’m leaning on hope to clear my clouded mind

VERSE 2
I know I can think the worst Of that I’m well-rehearsed
But that’s gonna be reversed Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo
I’m looking for the good each day for uplifting words to say
And no bad thoughts in the way Ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo ooo-ooo

CHORUS 2
I lift my eyes to see the habits I will form
I’m growing past behaviours that became the norm
I won’t go back to doubt I’ve found a brighter way
I’m learning how to be the light in every day

BRIDGE
I have realised that unless I change I’m done
And thinking about others is better than number one
Sometimes when I lie awake and ponder who I am
Accepting the notion to be the man I plan

SOLO

CHORUS 3
I lift my eyes to see the habits I will form
I’m growing past behaviours that became the norm
I won’t go back to doubt I’ve found a brighter way
I’m learning how to be the light in every day

I lift my eyes to see, the man I’m meant to be
I’m stepping past the shadows that once followed me
I won’t speak that way again I’ve left that voice behind
I’m leaning on hope to clear my clouded mind
