Lyrics
Keep your head to the sky
All my brothers standing on the front line
Trying to provide for your family
All my sisters raisin' those babies by yourself
This one's for you, God sees ya
I look in your eyes, I know your fight, I feel your trouble
Waiting in line, praying this time life won? t pass you by
In the news another one dies, tell me what do you do
Negativity pulling me down, I can? t stay down
I wish I could make it go away
Wish I could find the right words to say
I? m calling You please
Jesus, I need to hear a word from You
And I know that there? s more to this life than what I can see
Wanna feel how it feels to know real love and see me happy
Have a faith that can say to a storm you? re temporary
Tell me what you wanna do? I wanna be free
If you wanna be free, all my people look up
Keep your head to the sky
Keeping my eyes on You
You gotta come through
'Cause You promised
Keep your head to the sky
Can hardly wait till You come
? Cause You? re the one
My heart? s created for
Said, I look in your eyes, I know your fight, I feel your trouble
Waiting in line, praying this time, life won? t pass you by
In the news another one dies, tell me what do you do
Negativity pulling me down, I can? t stay down
I wish I could make it go away
Wish I could find the right words to say
I? m calling You, please
Jesus, I need to hear a word from You
And I know that there? s more to this life than what I can see
Wanna feel how it feels to know real love and see me happy
Have a faith that can say to a storm you? re temporary
All I wanna do, I wanna be free
If you wanna be free, everybody just
Keep your head to the sky
Keeping my eyes on You
You gotta come through
? Cause You promised
Keep your head in the sky
Can hardly wait till You come
? Cause You? re the one
My heart? s created for
Hallelujah, clap your hands y? all
All my people can you clap your hands
Let me hear you say, yeah
If you know that things have gotta change, say yeah
That nothing grows without a little rain, say
That no matter what they tell ya
God is waiting and He? s listening
Don? t look back? cause it gets better say
If you? re blessed to have healthy kids say yeah
If you? re blessed to have a place to live say yeah
Stop chasing after everything you see
May not have everything you want
But you got everything you need
Keep your head to the sky
Keeping my eyes on You
You gotta come through
'Cause You promised
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
