Raise A Cup Up For All My Day Ones Lyrics Mp3 Download

Often referred to as "The Black National Anthem," Lift Every Voice and Sing was a hymn written as a poem by NAACP leader James Weldon Johnson in 1900. His brother, John Rosamond Johnson (1873-1954), composed the music for the lyrics. A choir of 500 schoolchildren at the segregated Stanton School, where James Weldon Johnson was principal, first performed the song in public in Jacksonville, Florida to celebrate President Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
At the turn of the 20th century, Johnson's lyrics eloquently captured the solemn yet hopeful appeal for the liberty of Black Americans. Set against the religious invocation of God and the promise of freedom, the song was later adopted by NAACP and prominently used as a rallying cry during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
Actually, I feel the lyrics are using war as a metaphor for the breaking point in a relationship. As mentioned above, the weapons used in this seemingly one-sided war of words are fueled by anger and mistrust. The antagonist is assaulting the singer with words, "dropping [his] bombs now, on all [they've] built" and slowly "rippin' [her] heart" out. The singer at the end leaves one last scornful remark for her ex-lover; "How does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn?"
It's really interesting actually, because in the original version I get the feeling of her (the singer?) giving up, while in the remix The girl is daring the boy to raise his weapon, as if it's war. Very Curious.
"Love your ego, you won't feel a thing, always number one, the pen with a bent wrist crooked king, sign away our peace, for your war, one word and it's over. Dropping your bombs now, on all we've built, how does it feel now to watch it burn, burn, burn? Raise your weapons, raise your weapons... And it's over."
I think this song can be interpreted in many different ways. For Josh Groban, it is a religious song, with god praising him up whenever he feels down. However, for those with no religious belief, this could be a love song, with people you love raise you up and give you support whenever you need.
I love the song you raise me up. When my son died 19 years ago the Lord had me hear this song every single day for a year no matter where I was, shopping, mall, radio, tv. Every day. This gave me the strength and peace I needed to keep going. My sons name was Joshua. Thank you so much for doing this song, God Blessed me with your voice and the words.
Thank you Josh.
Just a heads up. The melody of this song is an old Irish folk song called Lononderry Aire. The melody has been used over and over with new lyrics, including the song Danny Boy. The history of the melody can be found here:

Basically, what she means by 'day ones' are the people who have been her friends since the beginning. In other words, friends who have been with her for a very long time, and have remained loyal to her the longest... since 'Day One'. Hope that makes sense?
Raise up a cup up for all my day onesTwo middle fingers for the hatersLife's only getting greaterStraight up from nothing we goHigher than the highest skyscraperNo Little League, we majorThe proof is in the paper
The lyrics alert us to the crises our planet faces, urging us to look after one another and the world we live in. We can do this by raising our voices and letting our message be heard. The chorus goes:
Now we are getting higher
Never go back from here
So raise your soul
The speed is getting faster
Now my boiling blood leads you to frontier of sky
So time is now the day to raise your fire
Raise the fire in you
Raise your fire like a Suzaku
Dispose of veil of mind
We are getting higher
Never go back from here
So raise your soul
The speed is getting faster
Now my boiling blood leads you to frontier of sky
So time is now the day to raise your fire
Raise the fire in you
Raise your fire like a Suzaku

The text contains some of the most familiar Easter themes: all creatures rejoice in Christ's resurrection (st. 1); the work of redemption is complete (st. 2); death is vanquished (st. 3); we have new life in Christ now (st. 4); we praise the victorious Christ (st. 5). The "alleluias," which remind us of the ancient Easter greeting, do more than interrupt the textual flow: they provide the framework for praising God with each line of text.
This song always gives me goosebumps.
the lyrics and the perfect acapella singing that emphasize tham ever better, and sends them right to the heart...
I am from Israel, and unfortunatly this song is very relevent to the situation my country is in.
Wish we will all find a way to trade the fist for the hanshake again.
The second track, "Static," opens with a looped recording of a supermarket welcome message, giving way to indecipherable megaphone vitriol. Sparse piano and drone frames the static-drenched field recordings with mournful effect. "Chart #3" is treated guitar drone and distant buzzing similar to records released by the Fatalists or James Plotkin. Piercing static and high frequency ambient yields to the monologue of a fringe Christian preacher. "When you see the face of God," he intones, "you will die and there will be nothing left of you, except the god-man, the god-woman, the heavenly man, the heavenly women...," girded by skeletal string arrangements.
As a reminder of the great victory God gave to Israel, Samuel took a great stone and raised it as a memorial between Mizpeh and Shen. As he raised it he called the name of it Ebenezer [or stone of help], saying, Hitherto hath the LORD helped us (1 Samuel 7:12). Whenever the Israelites looked at the stone, they would remember how God had helped them. Unfortunately, the exact site of the stone is unknown today.
