Raise It Up
August Rush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and i'm wondering how i'm gonna work it out, oh
my friends keep on telling me
how i don't need that man
but they don't really understand
there's far too many pressures in reality
with dealing with the pain the stress and poverty
and i gotta be myself because
(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 you smile
(so raise it up)
so raise
(hang in there with me)
sometimes we need another helping hand to show the way
(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 pray
seems to be nothing left for me
mommas gone, daddy didn't wanna be
and now i'm all by myself
wondering where is love
or should i just give up (ya kno)
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 standing tall
breaking through these walls
I'm gonna give my all
feeling like a motherless child
pain cuts into my soul
it's bringing me down
can't find my smile
on the face of a motherless child
I'm gonna break down these walls gonna give my all
ya know
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhhh

Je vois qu'il y a un vrai problème avec ces paroles...
Raise it Up... hanging.... malheureusement l'auteur de ce titre a pris au piège ces personnes et les a suspendu avec des cordes autour du Cou..
Ces personnes ne sont plus depuis début 2013.
Alors qu'il écrit Heading...
C un groupe d'Imposteurs de l'ENCG Settat.
Et les conducteurs de machines pour construction comme les Digger...
Moi je vois qu'il est allé trop loin avec ses accusations arbitraires et ces condamnations à mort.
Le climat est tordu de l'intérieur de leurs domiciles et c lui-même la Cause.
Prière de juger les Coupables d'Homicide du Prince Moulay Hicham...
