Michael Jackson - Keep Your Head Up Lyrics






She's looking for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's looking for the hope in the empty promises
She's working two jobs, keeping alive,
She works in a restaurant night and day,
She waits her life away,
She wipes her tears away.
She cries inside everytime she feels this way
And she's dyin' inside everytime her baby cries

No...

[Chorus:]
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind to stay alive,
Give me your wings so we can fly!
Keep your head up, tonight!
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly!

Killing 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,
I tell you I know it's coming soon
And all you need is just a moment, won't it do
Keep your head up!

[Chorus:]
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind to stay alive,
Give me your wings so we can fly (fly away, fly away, fly away)
Keep your head up, tonight!
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly, oh, my...

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 the circumstance,
Rise and do it again

[Chorus:]
Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind to stay alive,
Give me your wings so we can fly
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly!

[in background:]
I need your love
I need you now
I need your light right here today
I need you now

Keeping your head up to the sky!
Keeping your mind to stay alive,
Give me your wings so we can fly
Keeping your head up to the sky,
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly!

Michael Jackson Keep Your Head Up Comments
  1. M.... ....

    I think it's Michael, just a slightly different mixing or production or something, especially the very rapid, tremulous vibrato, which is not Michael's normal sound at all, but seems to me may be something to do with the production (some sort of mechanical effect). But definitely Michael's beautiful voice otherwise. And it's a great song too.💖💖💖

  2. G.... G....

    Michael Sang some parts from the demo version of him actually singing the song all they did was literally add Michael Jackson’s vocals it parts that he sang then put Jason’s vocals in the parts that Michael Jackson didn’t sing

  3. s.... m....

    i suppose mj would have said sth like nooooooo! nooo! nooo! you are doing it all wrong

  4. J.... R....

    IS JASON MALACHI , IS JASON MALACHI, IS JASON MALACHI

  5. J.... R....

    IS NOT MICHAEL JACKSON

  6. J.... L....

    🦋🌸

  7. M.... ....

    I've never heard Michael do "woo" like that. Like ever. His "woos" where iconic. These aren't even the same vowel pronunciation.

  8. D.... G....

    Is not Michael, but still amazing song

  9. D.... A....

    https://youtu.be/azgQpNFTZP8

  10. q.... c....

    This isnt even MJs style

  11. �.... �....

    He is Michael Jackson. 👑👑👑

  12. K.... M....

    A TRUE LEGEND! AND LEGENDS NEVER DIE! NO ONE CAN EVER FILL HIS SHOES EVER! HE ROCKED OUR WORLD! HE IS OUR KING OF POP FOREVER! WE LOVE YOU MORE MICHAEL JACKSON!

  13. S.... ....

    Even if this isn't Michael it's still a great song. If Michael sung it it would be even better.

  14. K.... J....

    not him

  15. A.... P....

    In that pic of mj on the cover he reminds me of prince

  16. R.... O....

    ¡this isn't Michael Jackson!

  17. K.... P....

    I know the voice off michael are edited

  18. D.... S....

    If Mike really did this, this would've been a #1 single in the world. Also, his vibrato lasts longer than Jason's. Great song by Jason though. It faced serious controversy after the release.

  19. P.... O....

    I love this song so big.

  20. s.... ....

    OK, so what about those back hard voice at the end of the song ? Not Michael's ?

  21. 3.... 6....

    2019 back

  22. G.... T....

    impostor!

  23. �.... ....

    This song is not michael

  24. L.... ....

    It’s not Michael Jackson singing but it’s still a good song not gonna lie

  25. M.... J....

    It's not Michael 😠 After all, this voice is not even similar to Michael 😠😠😠😠😂

  26. a.... w....

    I love mjj

  27. x.... ....

    💞🐑✨☀🎧

  28. N.... ....

    Just to find out who sings this! And so a good song!

  29. M.... ....

    Sad thing is! It’s still a great song ! With great vocals but I can’t support a fake Michael Jackson song! Even though Jason is actually quite a talented singer though no where near as good as MJ!

  30. m.... a....

    $ony gana dinero a costa del mejor cantante de todos los tiempos MJ y crea canciones que MJ nunca creo o que composito

  31. O.... F....

    Rafael Conley

  32. O.... F....

    Cortavious Jackson

  33. T.... W....

    Michael is on the hook and the bridges and the BGV

  34. g.... g....

    This one is mostly Michael

  35. S.... 2....

    I can't with Sony, Michael didn't want Sony releasing any of the music he had with them. This is disrespectful. I don't even buy any albums from Sony out of respect for him.

  36. u.... r....

    Mike how i wish you could sang this song...i really want to hear your voice in this song make it your own style..mike i really hope and wishing you the best up there..mike i missing you everyday mike :')

  37. t.... ....

    All these people acting like they are audio experts....just disgusting. And PATHETIC. You are not an audiologist. Stop being so full of yourself as to think you're an expert. You're not. You don't know if it's him or not. I don't know either, but I'm not as asshole like you people, running around and acting like an expert when I'm not one.

    Also: even though I don't know who it is, I tend to think it is MJ. It's obvious you people haven't read "My Friend Michael" by Frank Cascio, where he talks about MJ recording these. I doubt he would lie. His book is lovely, MJ meant the world to him, and he's clearly very honest in the book, even admitting things like how MJ and him smoked pot. So I doubt he'd lie. And, also, another thing all you "experts" haven't considered - so many of you say "oh but it's so overprocessed, to hide the fact that it's not MJ"....

    ....well, you obviously didn't consider that there could be OTHER reasons for the high amount of processing, such as the tapes being not in great shape, just raw tapes (he did DIE before he had the chance to finish, in case you haven't heard) and perhaps that is why there's all the processing. Or perhaps MJ wanted it that way, and liked the sound. Who knows. Could be any reason.

  38. A.... A....

    This song is not singed by Michael Jackson but i still love this song😁❤

  39. t.... o....

    I don’t understand. He did a good job. You try to sound like that. Let me know how it goes. Get off his back.

  40. G.... S....

    Music: micheal jackson sing jason malachi

  41. P.... D....

    1:36
    "... the birds, and the tREE-EEEHEHEHEs."

    Christ, this guy's voice is irritating. MJ had far better vocal skills that.

    P.... D....

    LOL it's so phony, I don't see how people think this is Michael.

  42. a.... a....

    No wonder why the song is so nice and diffrent!!!!!!!.

  43. a.... a....

    Damn him to hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  44. a.... a....

    Its jason malachi!!!!!!!!

  45. P.... ....

    It’s still a great song and Dan, it does sound a lot like him!

  46. A.... F....

    Such a beautiful song, what a shame it's not MJ singing

  47. l.... ....

    Holy shit this is good😍 it sounds just like michael

  48. A.... ....

    I know it's an impersonator but he sounds a lot like michael

  49. L.... ....

    Amazing song. Just wish it was Michael

  50. s.... d....

    No doubt !! This real MJ fuck you all Haters

  51. D.... K....

    Michael Jackson is best dacer and sigar of wrold

  52. w.... f....

    Great tune, just a shame about the Jason Malachi thing. They should've asked The Jacksons to fill in on vocals. Jackie & Marlon do a really good job covering what Mike used to sing in concert.

  53. E.... L....

    I know this is not Micheal but it’s still ace

  54. N.... S....

    This song would never have seen the light of day otherwise. I get it, it‘s not MJ but vibe is the same. Stop being childish and admire this masterpiece.

  55. D.... H....

    Yes. It’s not Michael. But you have to admit it, it’s still a beautiful song that moves you.

  56. n.... b....

    Sounds like Michael but it’s obvious it’s not him 😂

  57. a.... ....

    They should have jaafar Jackson redo Michael songs , that's the closest u will get to his voice .

  58. l.... k....

    no michael but good song

  59. C.... i....

    I can tell it’s not MIchael mostly for the singer’s vibrato.

  60. J.... ....

    Everyone:
    Omg r u serious?? It’s so obviously Michael, maybe you haven’t been following his music for over a decade like I have...
    Anyway, if u don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything. Just enjoy the music for what it is.
    As Jacob Magnuts said: Michael or not, it’s beautifully made.
    Stop commenting against this please!
    :(

  61. Y.... ....

    Even though this is not Michael, it is so 🔥

  62. C.... W....

    No one knew the Way yet In the BeginningGodvcreated the Havens And Earth but Not Ski scaperswith. Michael No one knew the Rule yet In the Beginning....... 7

  67. E.... B....

    So many, "This isn't Michael comments!"... With likes, I don't get it! Am I missing something?!? 🙄

    E.... B....

    Ervin Bizzle Jr. This isn’t Michael. It’s an imposter

    Even though it’s not Michael singing, the song is pretty catchy.

  80. P.... Z....

  87. L.... E....

    FAKE SONG! THE FANS WE NEED LEAVE TO REPRODUCE AND ELIMINATE IT “Breaking News”, “Keep Your Head Up” AND “Monster”. THE ALBUM MICHAEL HAD AMAZING MUSIC…BUT WE NEED ELIMINATE THESE THREE FALSES SONGS. BECAUSE IS NOT MICHAEL!!! PLEASE MORE RESPECT TO MICHAEL JACKSON´S LEGACY…

  88. F.... D....

    F.... D....

    On s'est quand même bien fait niquer mais ca se reconnait la voix de MJ et la c'est pas lui

    Fake... 😢 maldita seja essa Sony! não bastou assassinar o Mike ainda tem audácia de colocar um farsante como se fosse o Mike, eles são os piores, são o câncer desse mundo. sinceramente 🤢🤮 Deus tem que chegar logo... esse mundo já é do diabo.

  91. F.... A....

    To all who doubt, read this : http://www.damienshields.com/

  92. F.... A....

    El impostor de Jason Malachi canta aqui. Ojala Michael hubiera cantado realmente esta canción, seria 10000 veces brillante. Sony hace trampa.

  93. J.... S....

    Now for those who keep saying mj is singing this it was approved by Sony that Jason sang that

  94. O.... M....

    Written By Michael Jackson but Jason Malachi sang it

    O.... M....

    he completely had nothing to do with those songs
    cascios didn't show any proof that he wrote or sang it
    not one piece of evidence

    O.... M....

    @Noor Hamdi I can't guarantee anything regarding that matter! (Idk wut m I talking about actually 🙄)

  95. M.... O....

    Compare Stanger in Moscow and this song if say that's the real voice of MJ
