Hands Up to the Sky Songtext
von Michael Franti & Spearhead

I used to think that life was so easy
Had all the time and I gave it out freely
You never know what you have
Until it′s gone, gone, gone

I never used to think bout the ending
Never thought about the light I was bendin'
I didn′t know what I had
Till it was gone, gone, gone

So close your eyes
Throw your hands up to the sky
I got my feet here on the ground
While I float on a satellite
And should I die I know love was here tonight
Close your eyes
Throw your hands up, your hands up
Your hands up to the sky
Throw yo' hands up to the sky


Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away

I think of all the years that have rolled by
We laughed and we cried and we got high
My heart's a little bruised
But I′m still strong, strong, strong

So close your eyes
Throw your hands up to the sky
I got my feet here on the ground
While I float on a satellite
And should I die I know love was here tonight
Close your eyes
Throw your hands up, your hands up
Your hands up to the sky
Throw yo′ hands up to the sky

Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away
Away, away-away, away, away


So close your eyes (away, away-away, away)
Throw your hands up to the sky (away, away, away-away, away)
I got my feet here on the ground (away, away, away-away, away)
While I float on a satellite (away, away, away-away, away, away)
And should I die I know (away, away-away, away, away)
Love was here tonight (away, away-away, away)
Close your eyes (away, away)
Throw your hands up (away-away, away, away)
Your hands up, your hands up (away, away-away, away, away)

And should I die I know love was here tonight
Close your eyes
Throw your hands up, your hands up
Your hands up to the sky
