August Rush - Raise it up

No father figure in the house
And I'm wondering
How I'm gonna work it out. (ooh)
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
Dealing with the pain of stress and poverty
And I gotta be myself because
There's nobody else for me.. (noo)
*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 pressure comes 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 pressure comes down*
Sometimes it seems impossible
So that's why we pray...
*So raise it up*
We pray...

Seems to be nothing left for me..
Mamma's gone
Daddy didn't wanna be
And now I'm all by myself
wondering where is love
Or should I just give up (ooh noo) Life falls down on me
Caught into my soul
But I now 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 (yeah)

Feeling like a motherless child
Handcuffed into my soul
It's beating me down
Can't find a smile
On the face of a motherless child..

Gonna break down these walls
Gonna give my all [you know](yeahyeahyeah yeah!)
*So 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 pressure comes down*
(ooeeh)
Sometimes it takes a different kind dream to make you 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 (yeeey)
*So raise it up*
(ooh yeah)
*When pressure comes down*
Sometimes it seems impossible that's why we pray
*So raise it up*
