[00:23.46]Turn my mic up louder
[00:24.26]I've got to say something
[00:25.51]Lightweights stepping
[00:26.77]Aside when we come in
[00:28.07]Feel it in your chest
[00:29.17]The syllables get pumping
[00:29.92]People on the street
[00:31.07]They panic and start running
[00:32.32]Words on loose
[00:33.57]Leaf sheet complete coming
[00:34.72]Jump in my mind
[00:35.97]I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
[00:37.22]I'm healing the blind
[00:38.37]I promise to let the sun in
[00:39.97]Sick of the dark ways
[00:41.22]We march to the drumming
[00:42.23]Jump when they tell us
[00:43.18]That they want to see jump
[00:44.33]**** that I want to see
[00:45.73]Some fists pumping
[00:46.33]I missed something
[00:47.13]Take back what's yours
[00:48.43]Say something that you know
[00:49.83]They might attack you for
[00:51.03]'cause I'm sick of
[00:52.03]Being treated like I have before
[00:53.38]Like I'm stupid standing for
[00:54.37]What I'm standing for
[00:55.48]Like this war's really
[00:56.38]Just a different brand of war
[00:57.88]Like it doesn't cater to rich
[00:59.08]And abandon poor
[01:00.13]Like they understand
[01:01.47]You in the back of the jet
[01:02.73]When you can't
[01:03.23]Put gas in your tank
[01:04.12]These ****ers are laughing
[01:04.88]Their way to the bank
[01:06.02]And cashing
[01:06.43]Their check asking you
[01:07.32]To have compassion
[01:08.28]And have some respect
[01:09.08]For a leader so nervous
[01:10.43]In an obvious way
[01:11.58]Stuttering and mumbling
[01:12.23]For nightly news to replay
[01:13.28]The rest of the world
[01:14.73]Watching at the end of the day
[01:16.43]In the living room
[01:17.28]Laughing like what did he say
[01:18.84]Amen amen amen amen
[01:36.10]Amen
[01:42.10]In my living room watching
[01:42.96]but I am not laughing
[01:44.10]'cause when it gets tense
[01:45.10]I know what might happen
[01:46.45]The world is cold
[01:47.31]And bold men take action
[01:48.71]Have to react
[01:49.65]Or get blown into fractions
[01:50.85]Ten years old
[01:52.20]And something to see
[01:53.25]Is another kid my age
[01:54.51]Drugged under a jeep
[01:55.66]Taken abound
[01:56.11]And found later under a tree
[01:57.80]I wonder if he
[01:58.61]Thought the next one could be me
[02:00.36]Do you see the soldiers
[02:01.56]That are out today
[02:02.35]That brush the dust with
[02:03.59]Bullet proof vests away
[02:04.84]It's ironic at times
[02:05.95]Like this you pray
[02:06.79]But a bomb blew
[02:07.85]Tha mosque up yesterday
[02:08.75]There's bombs
[02:09.95]On the buses bikes roads
[02:11.50]Inside your market
[02:13.00]Your shops your clothes
[02:14.21]My dad he's
[02:14.96]Got a lot of fear I know
[02:16.50]But enough pride
[02:17.15]Inside not to let that show
[02:18.71]My brother had a book
[02:19.91]He would hold with pride
[02:20.95]A little red cover with
[02:22.21]A broken spine
[02:23.26]In the back he hand
[02:24.51]Wrote a quote inside
[02:25.41]'when the rich wage war
[02:26.76]It's the poor who die'
[02:28.01]Meanwhile their leader
[02:29.06]Just talks away
[02:30.06]Stuttering and mumbling
[02:30.91]For nightly news to replay
[02:32.22]The rest of the world
[02:33.47]Watching at the end of the day
[02:34.92]Both scared and angry
[02:35.87]Like what did he say
[02:37.58]Amen amen amen amen
[02:55.09]With hands held high
[02:57.33]Into a sky so blue
[02:59.83]As the ocean opens
[03:01.58]Up to swallow you
[03:04.18]With hands held
[03:05.93]High into a sky so blue
[03:08.98]As the ocean opens up to
[03:11.88]Swallow you
[03:13.73]With hands held
[03:15.18]High into a sky so blue
[03:18.23]As the ocean
[03:19.53]Opens up to swallow you
[03:22.87]With hands held
[03:24.42]High into a sky so blue
[03:27.42]As the ocean
[03:28.72]Opens up to swallow you
[03:33.61]With hands
[03:34.16]Held high into a sky so blue
[03:36.76]As the ocean
[03:38.01]Opens up to swallow you
[03:41.16]With hands

LINKIN PARK - Hands Held High
Written by:Linkin Park
Turn my mic up louder
I've got to say something
Lightweights stepping
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
Jump in my mind
I summon the rhyme I'm dumping
I'm 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 want to see jump
**** that I want to see
Some fists pumping
I missed 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 I'm 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
These ****ers are laughing
Their way to the bank
And cashing
Their check 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
The rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
In the living room
Laughing like what did he say
Amen amen amen amen
Amen
In my living room watching
but I am not laughing
'cause when it gets tense
I know what might happen
The world is cold
And bold men take action
Have to react
Or get blown into fractions
Ten years old
And something to see
Is another kid my age
Drugged under a jeep
Taken abound
And found later under a tree
I wonder if he
Thought the next one could be me
Do you see the soldiers
That are out today
That brush the dust with
Bullet proof vests away
It's ironic at times
Like this you pray
But a bomb blew
Tha 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
In the back he hand
Wrote a quote inside
'when the rich wage war
It's the poor who die'
Meanwhile their leader
Just talks away
Stuttering and mumbling
For nightly news to replay
The rest of the world
Watching at the end of the day
Both scared and angry
Like what did he say
Amen amen amen amen
With hands held high
Into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens
Up to swallow you
With hands held
High into a sky so blue
As the ocean opens up to
Swallow you
With hands held
High into a sky so blue
As the ocean
Opens up to swallow you
With hands held
High into a sky so blue
As the ocean
Opens up to swallow you
With hands
Held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean
Opens up to swallow you
With hands
Held high into a sky so blue
As the ocean
Opens up to swallow you
