[Verse 1]
She's lookin' for a job and to find a place to stay
She's lookin' for the hope in the empty promisin'
She's workin' two jobs, keepin' alive
She works in a restaurant night and day
She waits her life away
She wipes the tears away
She cries inside every time she feels this way
And she's dyin' inside every time her baby cries
Nooooo

[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind on stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
Keep your head up, tonight
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly

[Verse 2]
We're killin' up the life in the birds and the trees
And we're suckin' up the air in the earth from under me
(It's never too late)
I can't even breathe (just lean on me)
I can't even see
Keep your head up, don't give up today
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today
All you need is love
Tell you I know it's coming soon
And all you need is just a moment, want it to
Keep your head up

[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind on stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
(All the way, all the way, all the way)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
An' we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly, oh, my

[Verse 3]
Everybody say that time is borrowed
And hangin' down your head just ain’t no good
And if you dare to rise above tomorrow
Just give yourself a chance
Fight your circumstance
Rise and do it again

[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind on stayin' alive
Give me your wings so we can fly (yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah)

Keepin' your head up to the sky (ho-oh-oh)
An' we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly

I need your love, I need your love
Keepin' your head up to the sky
I need your light from here today
Keepin' your mind on stayin' alive
I need your love
Give me your wings so we can fly (yeah-yeah)
I need your love, I need your love
Keepin' your head up to the sky
I need your light from here today
An' we can just rise up, tell me now
I need your love
Give me your wings so we can fly

I need your love
Go 'n shine in this blind old world today, ho-oh-oh
I need your love
Go 'n shine in this blind old world today
I need your love
The ol' sun's gonna rise on the world today, today
Go 'n shine in this blind old world today, today
O-oh-oh
I need your love, I need your love
Go 'n shine in this blind old world today, today
I need your light from here today
I need your love
Go 'n shine in this blind old world today, today
Ho-oh-oh
Need your love

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
