Lyrics & Translation
English
Turn my mic up louder I got to say something
Lightweights step it aside when we come in
Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
People on the street they panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping
Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping
Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater to rich and abandon poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank
And these fuckers are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "What did he say?"
Amen [5x]
In my living room watching but I am not laughing
Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen
The world is cold, the bold men take action
Have to react or get blown into fractions
Ten years old it's something to see
Another kid my age drugged under a jeep
Taken and bound and found later under a tree
I wonder if he had thought the next one could be me
Do you see the soldiers they're out today?
They brush the dust from bullet-proof vests away
It's ironic at times like this you pray
But a bomb blew the mosque up yesterday
There's bombs on the buses, bikes, roads
Inside your market, your shops, your clothes
My dad: he's got a lot of fear I know
But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book, he would hold with pride
A little red cover with a broken spine
On the back he hand-wrote a quote inside,
"When the rich wage war it's the poor who die."
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry like "What did he say?"
Amen [6x]
[6x]
(Amen) With hands held high into a sky so blue
(Amen) As the ocean opens up to swallow you

Hands Held High (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Sube mi micrófono más fuerte, tengo que decir algo
Los pesos ligeros se hacen a un lado cuando entramos
Siéntelo en tu pecho, las sílabas bombean
La gente en la calle entra en pánico y empieza a correr
Palabras en hoja suelta completas llegando
Salto en mi mente y convoco la rima, estoy soltando
Curando a los ciegos, prometo dejar entrar el sol
Cansado de las formas oscuras en que marchamos al tambor
Saltar cuando nos dicen que quieren vernos saltar
Al diablo con eso, quiero ver puños bombeando
Arriesga algo, recupera lo tuyo
Di algo por lo que sabes que podrían atacarte
Porque estoy harto de ser tratado como antes
Como si fuera estúpido defender lo que defiendo
Como si esta guerra fuera en realidad solo una marca diferente de guerra
Como si no atendiera a los ricos y abandonara a los pobres
Como si te entendieran en la parte trasera del jet
Cuando no puedes poner gasolina en tu tanque
Y estos cabrones se ríen camino al banco y cobran el cheque
Pidiéndote que tengas compasión y algo de respeto
Por un líder tan nervioso de una manera obvia
Tartamudeando y balbuceando para que las noticias nocturnas lo repitan
Y el resto del mundo mirando al final del día
En su sala riendo como "¿Qué dijo?"
Amen [5x]
En mi sala mirando pero no me estoy riendo
Porque cuando se pone tenso sé lo que podría pasar
El mundo es frío, los hombres valientes actúan
Hay que reaccionar o ser hecho pedazos
Diez años, es algo que ver
Otro niño de mi edad drogado bajo un jeep
Tomado y atado y encontrado más tarde bajo un árbol
Me pregunto si él había pensado que el siguiente podría ser yo
¿Ves a los soldados, están fuera hoy?
Quitan el polvo de los chalecos antibalas
Es irónico que en momentos como este reces
Pero una bomba voló la mezquita ayer
Hay bombas en los autobuses, bicicletas, carreteras
Dentro de tu mercado, tus tiendas, tu ropa
My dad: tiene mucho miedo, lo sé
Pero suficiente orgullo dentro para no dejarlo ver
My brother: tenía un libro, lo sostenía con orgullo
Una pequeña cubierta roja con el lomo roto
En la parte de atrás escribió a mano una cita dentro,
"Cuando los ricos hacen la guerra, son los pobres quienes mueren."
Mientras tanto, el líder solo habla sin parar
Tartamudeando y balbuceando para que las noticias nocturnas lo repitan
Y el resto del mundo mirando al final del día
Ambos asustados y enojados como "¿Qué dijo?"
Amen [6x]
[6x]
(Amen) Con las manos en alto hacia un cielo tan azul
(Amen) Mientras el océano se abre para tragarte
