This is amazing! Love the use of Sign Language in the front instead of in a box in the corner! The song and lyrics, just great! Congrats Lachi and Team!

Huge thank you to the dopest team for making this beautiful piece possible! Love and miss you Judy!

I feel so late to the game and if it hadn’t been for listening to Fox News this morning, I would not know about you. I am a blind singer and trumpet player with long medical history but I’m still here. Thank you for your advocacy. I have a YouTube channel as well And until recently I was singing with a jazz band so there are music videos from that work as well. I actually met Galen Lee four years ago in Knoxville and was so thrilled because I had heard her sing and play on public radio through the tiny desk concerts. I’m so hopeful and inspired, sort of tongue and cheek there, sorry, but really, you are just what I needed to hear right now. I was feeling very ostracized and ignored on the previous path I was on. I might be too old to have a music career, but I will still dream big and try hard and see what happens. ❤️

Beautiful!  Thank you @Lachi for the wonderful tribute to Judy.  Not a minute goes by without great memories of Judy.

Such an uplifting song, thanks to all of you 🫶

🎉 excellent work! What a beautiful song, and I love how sign language was such a prominent part of the performance.

This music video is so amazing! &quot;Lift Me Up&quot; is a wonderful song!

This music video is so amazing! "Lift Me Up" is a wonderful song!

Honored to support such an amazing project with amazing RAMPD artists!

Beautiful song and video!! Love the tribute to Judy at the end 💛

The joy, perseverance and pride is palpable! What a beautiful, emotional tribute! &lt;3

Ali Stroker narrates - Lift Me Up by Lachi featuring James Ian and Gaelynn Lea. A Music Video. Lachi, a black woman with cornrows, James, a Black man with short and dark hair, and a light beard and Gaelynn, a white woman in a wheelchair, are projected onto a back wall, as passionate sign language performers are featured front and center. 

Opening scene: Nell, a black deaf woman with long braids standing in front of a wall. James Ian begins singing, and Otis, a black deaf man with dreads signs in front of the wall and stands next to Nell during the chorus duet. 

Gaelynn Lea, a short white woman in a power wheelchair, joins in singing during the third chorus and Amber Galloway, a white HOH woman with pink hair signs the chorus and guitar solo. 

Singing - 
You would call me in the morning
Just as I woke up
You wouldn’t stand for it when I mumbled
So with you I spoke up
We would laugh about our dreams
And the world we wanted to see
And who I needed to be
For the world I wanted to see

Rain  could beat against my window
But you drown it out 
Be the darkest depths of winter
But your light shines down
When the world got my head spinning
Feeling stuck here on the ground
You lift me up
You lift me up

When the days get way too rough
And the stars don’t shine enough
It’s you who lifts me up
It’s you who lifts me up

When I’ve taken off my gloves
Cause I’m all out of love
You lift me up
You lift me up

A million words
You always draw me in
Thanks for being a voice
Thanks for being a friend 
Even when you've gone away
You're never really gone
Cause you give me the strength
To carry on

Rain could beat against my window
But you drown it out
Be the darkest depths of winter
But  your light shines down

When the world got my head spinning
Feeling stuck here on the ground
You lift me up
You lift me up

When the days get way too rough
And the stars don’t shine enough
It’s you who lifts me up
It’s you who lifts me up

When I’ve taken off my gloves
Cause I’m all out of love
You lift me up
You lift me up

When the days  get way too rough
And the stars don’t shine enough
It’s you who lifts me up
It’s you who lifts me up

When I’ve taken off my gloves
Cause I’m all out of love
You lift me up

You lift me up
You lift me up
You lift me up
You lift me up (You gave me your hand and you lifted)
You lift me up, Oh
You lift me up
You lift me up

You lift me up
You lift me up


Song ends, fades to black as Lachi, James and Gaelynn all hug in the recording booth. Nell, Otis and Amber all hug on stage in front of the projection wall. An image of Judy Heumann, an older white woman wearing glasses and a red blazer sitting in her wheelchair, appears with text 1947-2023

LYRICS:
Lachi:
Lachi she/her.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Big mouth, chest out.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Black Girl Cornrows rows.
Thick lips, thick hips. 
Black Girl Cornrows rows.

Lachi she/her. 
Black Girl Cornrows. 
Brown skin, big city raised
Not born though
See me with a drip, from the face to the shoelace. 
Hanging from the cane.
When they see me, blow the horns up loud!
I'm an incredibly proud Daredevil African child.
Straight from the roots of a ten generation pursuit
Of me chasing the greatness and bagging the loot.
And my forefathers knew and my poor father crew
And my rich mama flew to America
They would be better off shielded by heritage
Eye on the life of the white’s 
Cuz it’s nice to be blind to the narrative.
I came out, yall was like bruh
Only a mother could love
Dreams on the hush
Diamond in rough
Now see me, wining, dining
Shine’s in the blood
And I am enough

He who shall be lurking in the darkness shall be brought to light
If you ain't afraid to show me where your heart is, step into the light.

Show me who you are. (Show me)

Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Bl bl black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Show me who you are. 
Black Black Black Black Black Black girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 
Thick lips, thick hips.
Black Girl Cornrows 
Lachi she her Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Black Girl Cornrows 
High heels, gold wrist
Black Girl Cornrows 
Big mouth, chest out.
Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 
Black Girl Cornrows 

Question.

Black man, dread head gettin racks in.
Might pull up with the cane big swaggin
And when I'm going through pressure no pressure
I don't crack man.
Movin on goals with a passion.
Keep a smile when the cameras is flashin
ATL in my name that's facts kid.
Tryna impact the game like Sean Carter, Wayne and Mike Jackson.
And they aint know we'd ever be up like this,
This just what life is.
Hustle everyday til you die if not why live?
Lemme just pop my shit.
Tap into the dark side let the beast out quick
Attack any track when I spit that.
Don't got too much time for the chit chat
I told them I'm dope and I been that
yeah

Lachi:

He who shall be lurking in the darkness shall be brought to light
If you ain't afraid to show me where your heart is, step into the light.
Show me who you are. (Show me)

Black Black Black Black Black Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Black black Girl, Cornrows.

Yvie (Yvie)

Yvie, baby. 
She they them he.
One day Cornrows, next day fade clean.
See me, ask me. 
Are you? Maybe!
I'm the queen who came and changed things.
Won a game I ain't playing.
Ain't no killer, but I'm slayin
Super saiyan. I'm just saying.
Evis Christ. I  came to save em.
Tall brown queen.
Dressed in rainbow. uh uh
All Black fag, wrap. Sick bitch.
Queen of the queerdos.
I'm a get my hair did. With some nails to match it.
See they just don't get it. Though I know they wish they had it.
Living in a straight, white world made me weird.
I was like "my mama baby girl" before the she/her.
They say I'm excessive.
That she's got expensive habits.
It's habitual. I'm in my ritual. I'm finna summon my Black Girl magic.
Ow!

Show me who you are.
Black Girl Cornrows.  (Show me)
Black Girl Cornrows. (Show me)
Black bl black girl Cornrows.
Show me who you are.
Black Black Black Black Black Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Black Girl, Cornrows. (Show me)
Black black Girl, Cornrows.

Thick lips, thick hips.
Black Girl, Cornrows.
Lachi she/her. 
Black Girl Cornrows rows.

High heels, gold wrist.
