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

Having 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

Watin' 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 stained with rosé wine

Empties left behind the morning after

The distant purr of cars on soaking 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

Watin' 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 at all

You need a little light to guide the way

Waitin' 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
