Head Held High

[Verse 1]
Uh
Yeah, let's go
Another episode
It's the same story all over the globe
Everywhere I go
It's the same old struggle
People tryin' to put the pieces together to this puzzle called life
But tonight, it's the end of the line
Gravity stops the clocks, the hands of time
'Cause you can go through hell
You felt like you trapped in a cell
You'd be down and you'd need somebody's help
Where are they now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna get better
Oh, this is not forever
'Cause you can go through hell
You felt like you trapped in a cell
You'd be down and you'd need somebody's help
Where are they now?

[Chorus]
When there ain't no end in sight
And you're overwhelmed by life
Don't forget to fight, you can make it right
Keep your head held high
You gotta fight it down inside
Light it up and let it shine
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

[Refrain]
Keep your head held high
Keep your head held high
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

[Verse 2]
And they go [?]
She should be merrily
Enjoying being sixteen, but clearly
She's not, and it's written on her face
Behind her makeup, hiding a past she can't erase
'Cause her momma told her she didn't want her
And Daddy leave her
And neither one of 'em told her they love her
So one after another, she finds another lover
They did what they want, then threw it out from under the covers

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it's gonna get better
Oh, this is not forever
Baby girl, you a star, you were made to fly
Enough of the worst, you gon' touch the sky

[Chorus]
When there ain't no end in sight
And you're overwhelmed by life
Don't forget to fight, you can make it right
Keep your head held high
You gotta fight it down inside
Light it up and let it shine
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

[Refrain]
Keep your head held high
Keep your head held high
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

[Bridge]
You may be knocked down
But you were never out
You got soul, you gon' rise
You are gonna make it, you are gonna win
Give it the heart of a champion
And you are gonna make it, never gonna quit
You can never stop the fire that's burning within, no!

[Chorus]
When there ain't no end in sight
And you're overwhelmed by life
Don't forget to fight, you can make it right
Keep your head held high
You gotta fight it down inside
Light it up and let it shine
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

[Refrain]
Keep your head held high
Keep your head held high
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high
