英文原声歌曲：Raise It Up自强不息-《八月迷情》插曲

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。August¹ 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
