Hold Your Head High

I've made a lot of choices
Most have not been wise
But I have some really good friends
I have been fortunate enough to find

They get me through the lonely days
When I want to stay inside myself
Get me out of my shell
Out into the world

I am a-comin' back, I'm comin' back again
I had lost everything and then I got it back again
I dug myself so deep, deep into a hole
That getting out was so far beyond my control

In the past, I've always had trouble on my mind
I'm gonna take that feelin' and leave it far behind
And as I go down this path, travelin' through my fate
Lately I have begun to awake

It started out in Jackson and we moved across the land
And all the dehydration turned the soil into sand
And then one day, they hauled me away
And I was out there, out on my own

And the thieves, they came and went
They took everything in sight
And then we got it back again
Oh, I had to fight

And now, then I woke up from the middle strangest dream
And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing
Oh, hold your head high, just as high as you can
Things will work out soon, things'll come round again
You see, I've got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go
I get lost even in the places that I know

Oh, hold your head high, just as high as you can
Things'll work out soon, things'll come round again
Hold your head high, just as high as you can
Things'll work out soon, things'll come round again
