Raise It Up歌詞

No father figure in the house
and i'm wonderin' how i'm gonna work it out
oh my friends keep on tellin' me
how i don't need that man
but they don't really understand
there's far too many pressures in reality
but dealing with the pain and stress and poverty
and i gotta be myself because
there's nobody else for me (nohhhh)
(heading there with me)sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(so don't give up)so don't give up
(when pressures come down)sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make you smile
(so raise it up)so raise
(hang in there with me)sometimes we need another helping hand to show the ways
(so don't give up) so don't give up
(when pressures come down)sometimes it seems impossible and that's why we pray
(so raise it up) we raise
it seems to be nothing left for me
mom‘s gone daddy didn't wanna be
and now I'm all by myself wondering where is love or
should i just give up ya know
life falls down on me, cuts into my soul
but i know i got the strength to make it through it all
cause I'm still standin tall breaking through these walls I'm gonna give my all
feelin like a motherless child
hankered into my soul
its bringing me down cant find my smile
on a face of a motherless child
im gonna break down these walls gonna give it my all ya know
yeah yeah yeah yeahhhh
(hang in there with me)sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(so don't give up)so don't give up
(when pressures come down)sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make a smile
(so raise it up) so raise it up
(hang in there with me) raise it up
sometimes it takes another helping hand to show you the way
(so dont give up, when pressures come down)
sometimes it seems impossible thats why we pray
SO RAISE IT UP
