Keep Your Head Up

 This is obviously unfinished and not up to Michael Jackson's standards. My theory is that MJ did a rough demo and for some reason never got around to finishing it(2 Seas fiasco?). After his death someone might've sang over his weak spots. Thereby patching it up. Another theory would be overproduction of a track that should not have been selected in the first place. Either way we shall(hopefully) find out when(if) the demos get leaked.

 Had Michael only been alive to complete this track this would've been another anthmic masterpiece! Just listen to the lyrics...

Lyrics

She's lookin for a job and a finer place to stay,
She's lookin for the hope in the empty promising,
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 dying inside every time her baby cries, no

Keepin your head up to the sky,
Keepin your mind just stay alive,
Keepin your wings so we can fly,
(Keep your head up tonight)

Keepin your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,

Giving up the life of the birds in the trees
And we’re sucking up the air in the earth from under me,
(It’s never too late)
I can’t even breathe (to see) I can’t even see,
(Oh keep) 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'm always coming soon,
And all you need is just a moment, won’t it do,
Keep your head up

Keepin your head up to the sky,
Keepin your mind just stay alive
Gimme your wings so we can fly, (fly away, fly away, fly away)
(Keep your head up tonight)

Keepin your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now,
Gimme your wings so we can fly,
(Oh why)

Everybody say the time is borrowed
And hanging down your head just ain’t no good
And if you dance and rise above tomorrow
(Give it a chance)
Just give yourself a chance, find the circumstance,
Rise and do it again,

Keepin your head up to the sky (Oh God)
Keepin’ your mind just stay alive (Oh no)
Gimme your wings so we can fly
(Yeah, yeah!)
Keepin’ your head up to the sky,
And we can just rise up tell me now
Gimme your wings so we can fly

(I needed you know, I needed you now
I needed you night right through the day
I needed you now)
Keepin’ your head up to the sky
Keepin’ your mind just stay alive
Keepin’ your wings so we can fly, (Woo! woo!)
(Yeah!)
(repeat)

What about love again
What about love again
.....

(Gonna shine, must fly, gonna rise gonna rise today! today!)
