Lyrics of Keep Your Head Up by Michael Jackson
verse
She's lookin' for a job and a finer place to stay
She's lookin' for the hope in the empty promises
She's workin' two jobs, keepin' alive
She works in a restaurant night and day
She waits her life away
She wipes the tears away
She cries inside every time she feels this way
And she's dyin' inside every time her baby cries
Nooooo
chorus
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up to stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly!
Keep your head up tonight!
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly!
verse
Killin' up the life in the birds and the trees
And we're suckin' up the air in the earth from under me
(It's never too late)
I can't even breathe! (just lean on me)
I can't even see!
Keep your head up! Don't give up today!
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today
All you need is love
Tell you I know it's coming soon
And all you need is just a moment, wont it do?
Keep your head up!
chorus
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up to stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly!
(Fly away, fly away, fly away)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
And we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly! oh, my
verse
Everybody say the time is borrowed
And hangin' down your head just ain't no good
And if you dare to rise above tomorrow
Just give yourself a chance
Fight your circumstance
Rise and do it again!
chorus
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up to stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly! (yeah-yeah)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (ho-oh-oh)
And we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly!
verse
I needed your love! I needed you now! (Keepin' your head up to the sky)
I needed your light right here today! (Keepin' your mind up stayin' alive)
I needed you now! (Give me your wings so we can fly!)
(Yeah-yeah)
verse
I needed your love! I needed you now! (Keepin' your head up to the sky)
I needed your light right here today! (And we can just rise up, tell me now)
I needed you now! (Give me your wings so we can fly!)
chorus
Keepin' your head up!
Gon' shine his smile on us today (Ho-oh-oh)
Keepin' your head up!
Gon' shine his smile on us today
Today!
Keepin' your head up!
outro
Those songs gon' rise on us today
Today!
Gon' shine his smile on us today
Today! (Oh-oh-oh)
I needed your love! I needed you now! (Those songs gon' rise on us today, today)
I needed your light right here today!
I needed you now!
Gon' shine his smile on us today
Today!
Keepin' your head up!
Writer(s): Michael Jackson, James Porte, Eddie Cascio
