Hands Held High - Linkin Park - Images & Lyrics

Turn my mic up louder I got to say somethin'
Lightweight step it aside when we comin'
Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumpin'
People on the street they panic and start runnin.'

Words on loose leaf sheet complete comin'
I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme of dumpin.'
Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drummin.'

Jump when they tell us they wanna see jumpin'
Fuck that I wanna see some fist pumpin'
Risk somethin', take back what's yours
Say somethin' that you know they might attack you for.

'Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like I'm stupid standin' for what I'm standin' for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor.

Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank
These fuckers are laughin' their way to the bank and cashin' the cheque
Askin' you to have compassion and have some respect.

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stutterin' and mumblin' for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughin' like "what did he say?"

[Chorus:]
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

In my living room watchin' but I am not laughin'
Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen
The world is cold, 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 that are 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 in 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
Stutterin' and mumblin' for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watchin' at the end of the day
both scared and angry like "what did he say?"

[Chorus x6]

[x6]
With hands held high into the sky so blue,
As the ocean opens up to swallow you.

I ask myself this: "Is it better to sit at home and watch the news, witnessing the world destroy itself, or better to do something, to involve yourself, even when it isn't wanted or liked, for the betterment of all sides?"

Who are we, civilians, to say what is right and wrong in a war. War is evil, but the men who fight it, what they stand for determines what is right or wrong. Some may say what is right, some may ask who is left. But I ask, what have we proven? Everything.

@colonelchris92 Every now and again, I get a comment on this vid that really stands out and speaks the truth. Congrats, colenelchris92, this comment is one of them! So true.

[33JACKOLANTERN]

I almost cried watching this

[IamMoaningMyrtle]

@33JACKOLANTERN Just listening to the song for the first time made me feel teray and gave me goosebumps and I KNEW I had to make a video for it.

[dollyd99XX]

Many British people have lost respect for our boys fighting abroad.

I am not one of those people.

[IamMoaningMyrtle]

@dollyd99XX Me neither.

[DaWn393]

I want a linkin park shirt with "when the rich wage war, is the poor who die" on the back of it

[PopGenreIsGone]

War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.

[besttechno100]

the world watches itself crash down the politicans are just laughting the what if they know what it feels like to be poor maybe they will one day...

[LLLvsLighttt]

Амазинг сонг!

[Jeremys4232]

After listening to this song and video, I sat in a moment of silence. I don't know why but I thought about how corrupt this world is with so much politics and everyone trying to gain the upper hand. I only wished that we can all act true to ourselves and embrace one another realizing that we all go through similar struggles. Help someone in need. A simple act of kindness can affect someone in ways you never know and can also affect a much larger picture.

[Lexiluffsya]

"When the rich wage war it's the poor who die" that statement is so true. And people who don't like this song it's not always about the tune or if it's slow or fast it's about the message going out and this was a beautiful message. And people should take time to listen 2 the lyrics instead of the best at stuff like that.
