  • Master told me one day
    I'd find peace in every way
    But in search for the clue
    Wrong things I was bound to do
    Keep my head to the sky
    For the clouds to tell me why
    As I grew, and with strength
    Master kept me as I repent
    And he said

    Keep your head to the sky (keep your head to the sky)
    Keep your head to the sky (keep your head to the sky)

    He gave me the will to be free
    Purpose to live His reality
    Hey, and I found myself never alone
    Chances came to make me strong
    To step right up and be a man
    'Cause you need faith to understand
    So we're saying for you to hear
    Keep your head in faith's atmosphere

    Keep your head to the sky (keep your head to the sky)
    So the clouds
    Keep your head to the sky
    So they can tell you why, Lord
    Keep your head to the sky
    Surely, the clouds are gonna tell you why

    Gave me the will to be free
    Purpose to live His reality
    Ooh, and I found myself never alone
    'Cause chances came, they came to make me strong
    Hey, to step right up and be a man
    Ooh, you need faith to understand
    Ah, so we're saying for you to hear
    Keep your head in faith's atmosphere

    Keep your head to the sky (keep your head to the sky)
    Keep your head to the sky (keep your head to the sky)
    Don't walk around with your head held down
    Keep your head to the sky
    Keep your head to the sky (surely, surely, surely, surely)
    The clouds are gonna tell you why
    Keep your head to the sky
    Keep your head to the sky
