No father figure in the house
and Iīm wonderin' how Iīm gonna work it out
oh, my friends keep on tellin' me how I don't need that man
but they don't really understand
there are far too many pressures in reality
but dealing with the pain and stress and poverty
and I gotta be myself because there's nobody else for me (Ohhh)
(heading 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 ways
(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 raise
[HOPE] seems to be nothing left for me mommas gone daddy didnīt wanna be and now im all by myself wonderin where is love or
should I just give up
life falls down on me, cuts into my soul but I know I got the strength to make it through it all cause Iīm still standin
tall
breaking through this wall im gonna give my all
[HOPE] Feelin like a motherless child hate cuts into my soul its bringing me down canīt find my smile on a face of a
motherless child
I'm gonna break down these walls gonna give it my all ya know
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhhh
(hang in there with me) sometimes it takes a different kind of love to raise a child
(so donīt give up) so donīt give up
(when pressures come down) sometimes it takes a different kind of dream to make a 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
(so donīt give up, when pressures come down)
[HOPE] sometimes it seems impossible that?s why we pray
so raise it up
