"Lift Me Up" is the first single from The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1, the fourth studio album from Five Finger Death Punch, and is the fifteenth single overall from the band. The song features Rob Halford, lead vocalist for Judas Priest. Halford joined the band at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards on May 2, 2013 to premiere the tune, with lead singer Ivan L. Moody referring to himself as being "the guest (vocalist)" on the song.
The song was number one in the Internet music app Spotify in its first week of release over pop songs from Mariah Carey, Daft Punk, Fergie, and others. The list represents the most viral tracks on Spotify based on the number of people who shared it divided by the number who listened to it from Monday, May 13, to Sunday, May 19, via Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and Spotify.
In April 2014, the song won a Revolver Golden Gods Award for "Song of the Year."
According to Moody, the composition was about overcoming routine roadblocks and less-than-ideal circumstances in life. He then goes on to say that while most of us weren't born into wealth, if life deals you a bad hand, you still have to play with the cards that life deals you. Moody closes by stating that the song is intended to inspire and that if you play your hand right, you might still come out on top.
"Lift Me Up" is a song by the progressive rock band Yes. It was the first single released from their 1991 "reunion" album Union. It reached the number-one spot on the Billboard Album Rock Tracks chart in May 1991, and stayed at the top for six weeks. It also charted on the Billboard Hot 100, their last single to do so.
Following Yes's 1987–88 tour to support the Big Generator album, singer Jon Anderson left the band and formed a new group with 1970s-era Yes members Steve Howe (guitars), Rick Wakeman (keyboards) and Bill Bruford (drums). As their new band Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe, the quartet released a self-titled album and went on tour.
Meanwhile, the remaining members of the "official" Yes, guitarist Trevor Rabin, bassist Chris Squire, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Tony Kaye, continued work on a follow-up to Big Generator. Among the songs recorded was the Rabin- and Squire-penned "Lift Me Up", the lyrics of which allude to homelessness:
The two competing bands had fought for the rights to use the "Yes" name, with the Squire/Rabin/White/Kaye faction filing suit to prevent Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe from using the name "Yes" during their tour promotion. However, once both factions were signed to Arista Records, the record label decided to combine the musicians' efforts and produce an album, Union, featuring songs from each group. "Lift Me Up" was one of four Rabin or Squire songs included on the album; its follow-up single, "Saving My Heart", was another.
"Lift Me Up" is a promo single from singer/songwriter Kate Voegele's second studio album, A Fine Mess. This single, and the rest of her album, is produced by Mike Elizondo, who has worked with the likes of P!nk and Maroon 5. The song was included in 2008 on the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games soundtrack, sponsored by AT&T.

Climbing on a cloud
Dancing on a daydream
I don't have a doubt
Just how good this life can be
You lift me up
Running in the rain
Singing in the sunshine
Telling all the world
Why I'm so in love with life
You lift me up
You lift me up
I'm touching the blue sky
You lift me up
I'm on top of the world
You lift me
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
Headed for the stars
Riding on a moon beam
Taking me so far
Farther than I've ever been
You lift me up
You lift me up
I'm touching the blue sky
You lift me up
I'm on top of the world
You lift me
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
It's so crystal clear
I'm in love
All I'll ever want
All I'll ever need is right here
I'm touching the blue sky
I'm on top of the world
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
You lift me up
I'm on top of the world
You lift me up
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
I'm touching the blue sky
You lift me up
I'm on top of the world
You lift me up
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
Oh, believe me you lift me up
You lift me up
You lift me up
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
You lift me up
You lift me up
You lift me up
I'm getting closer to Heaven
In every little thing I love
