Keep Your Head
Rising Above: Finding Hope in Life's Storms with Kirk Franklin
Lyrics
Keep your head to the sky
Encouragement to remain positive and hopeful
Keep your head to the sky
Reiteration of the message to stay optimistic
I look in your eyes
Expressing understanding by looking into someone's eyes
I know your fight after your trouble, waiting in line
Acknowledging the challenges and struggles faced
Praying this time, life won't pass you by
Praying for a positive outcome and not missing out on life
In the news, another one dies
Referencing the unfortunate news of someone's death
Tell me what do you do
Asking how one responds to such news and challenges
Negativity pulling me down
Feeling weighed down by negativity
I can't stay down,
Determined not to stay down despite challenges
I wish I could make it go away
Expressing a desire to overcome difficulties
Wish I could find the right words to say
Wishing for the right words to bring comfort
I'm calling you please
A plea for divine intervention and guidance
Jesus I need to hear a word from you
Seeking a message or guidance from Jesus
Gotta know that there's more to this life than what I can see
Desiring to understand the deeper meaning of life
Wanna feel how it feels to know real love and see me happy
Yearning for genuine love and happiness
Have a faith that can say to a storm your temporary
Aspiring to have faith that can withstand life's storms
I want to be free, if you want to be free
Expressing a desire for freedom
Keep your head to the sky
Reiteration of the advice to remain positive
Keeping my eyes on you, you got to come through
Directing focus on divine intervention and fulfillment of promises
Cause you promised
Emphasizing reliance on promises made
Keep your head to the sky we only wait 'till you come,
Continuing to wait with hope for a positive outcome
'Cause you're the one my heart's created for
Affirming a special connection with the divine
Keep your head to the sky
Reiteration of the advice to remain positive
Keeping my eyes on you, you got to come through
Directing focus on divine intervention and fulfillment of promises
Cause you promised
Emphasizing reliance on promises made
Keep your head to the sky we only wait 'till you come,
Continuing to wait with hope for a positive outcome
'Cause you're the one my heart's created for
Affirming a special connection with the divine
Keep your head to the sky
Reiteration of the advice to remain positive
Keep your head to the sky
Final reiteration of the encouragement to keep one's head up
