Keep Your Head To The Sky
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd find peace in every way,
but in search for the clue
wrong things I was bound to do
Keep my head to the sky
for the clouds to tell me why
As I grew with strength
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky
Gave me the will to be free
purpose to live is reality
Found myself never alone
changes come to make me strong
Step right up, be a man
You need faith to understand
so we're saying for you to hear
Keep your head in faith's atmosphere
Keep your head to the sky
Keep your head to the sky

Master told me one day
Someone wise once told me
I'd find peace in every way,
That I would find inner peace through my journey
but in search for the clue
But in my quest for answers
wrong things I was bound to do
I was bound to make mistakes along the way
Keep my head to the sky
Look up and keep moving forward
for the clouds to tell me why
For the world to reveal itself to me
As I grew with strength
As I became stronger
Master kept me as I repent
Someone wise stood by me as I learned from my mistakes
Gave me the will to be free
Showed me the way to freedom
purpose to live is reality
I realized that my reason for living was real
Found myself never alone
I discovered that I was never truly alone
changes come to make me strong
Challenges came my way to make me stronger
Step right up, be a man
It's time to step up and be strong
You need faith to understand
To truly understand, you need to have faith
so we're saying for you to hear
We're here to tell you
Keep your head in faith's atmosphere
Stay in a positive and hopeful mindset
Keep your head to the sky
Look up and keep moving forward, stay hopeful

You came into my life in Denver during a difficult time.
You had no idea my mother had just put me out into the mean streets with nowhere to go, no funds, no hope. I was frightened and alone.
When we went to church, you told me to keep my head to the sky.
You gave me hope that kept me going. You encouraged me. That meant so much to me.
Thank you, Phillip.π
