Lift Your Heads

Lift up your faces you weary eyed, lift up your heads one and all

Lift up your eyes all you poor and despised, lift your heads don't let them fall

Lift your heads from the weight that they give

Lift your heads from the lives that you live

Lift your heads from places on shelves, lift your heads from yourselves

Rest your defenses my friends of fear, lay your defenses right down

Tear down all fences of far and near, all you red, white, yellow and brown

Lift your heads from the spikes in the ground

Lift your heads from the darkness around

Lift your heads from places in line, lift yourselves from decline

Lift up your faces my lonesome kin, lift your eyes up to the top

Open your hearts from without and within, lift your heads don't let them drop

Lift your heads from the weight of the earth

Lift your heads from what you are worth

Lift your heads from what you've been told, lift yourselves from the old
