(VERSE 2)

D
Lord, I lift my friend to You

Bm                                      G2
My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You

   D                                              G
I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

    Em               A           D
So Lord, I lift my friend up to You

(CHORUS 2)

         G2                D/F#              A
'cause there's a way that seems so right to him

         Bm
But You know where that leads

        G2       D/F#          A          F#m              Bm
He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings

Em                A           D
Lord, I lift my friend up to You
