这是获得今年第80届奥斯卡最佳电影歌曲提名的作品了,很励志的一首歌。August Rush中的好歌还是很多的,不过这首Raise It Up,因为黑人小才女Jamia Simone Nash而与众不同,非常震撼,带有浓厚的黑人福音音乐味道。电影插曲一共15首,片尾曲John Legend的Someday非常好听,帅哥Jonathan Rhys Meyers乔纳森.里斯.迈耶斯的那几首歌,要在电影中听,会更有感觉!
Amia Simone Nash and Impact Repertory Theater - Raise It Up
No father figure in the house
and i'm wonderin' how i'm 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's far too many presures in reality
but dealing with the pain and stress and poverty
and i gotta be myself because
there's nobody else for me (nohhhh)
(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 presures 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 presures come down)sometimes it seems inpossible and that's why we pray
(so raise it up) we raise
seems to be nothing left for me
mommas gone daddy didnt 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 throgh it all
cause im still standin tallbreaking throgh this wall im gonna give my all
feelin like a motherless child
hankered into my soul
its bringing me down cant find my smile
on a face of a motherless child
im 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 dont give up)so don't 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 dont give up, when presures come down)
sometimes it seems impossible thats why we pray
SO RAISE IT UP |
