Head Held High

Ever had a feeling that you can't go on?
Trying to be strong but getting weaker
Carrying the weight of every single day
Haven't lost your way, feeling defeated
Sat staring counting spiral patterns on the wall
You wonder if your luck is ever gonna turn around at all
You need a little light to guide the way
Waiting on the sun to shine again
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're alone
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
Your bedroom carpet's stained with rose wine
Empties left behind, the morning after
The distant purr of cars on sunken roads
And the street echoes the noise of laughter
The bottom of a bottle finds you almost every night
You wonder if your life is ever gonna turn out right again
You need a little light to guide the way
Waiting on the sun to shine again
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're alone
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
Confused and battered by the motion of the changing tides
You're nearing empty and you've barely got the will to fight
You wonder if you're gonna live or if you will survive
You need a little light to guide the way
Waiting on the sun to shine again
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're alone
You gotta keep your head up high
You gotta keep your head up high
