Lyrics

Keep Your Head Up

Heavy All uphill Never easy No standing still All caught up Being held back Manifest your defence And watch it pass So keep your head up Your wings wide Find fire That keeps your soul alive So keep your head up Your mind strong Let go Instead of holding on So keep your head up Your wings wide Find fire That keeps your soul alive So keep your head up Your mind strong Let go Instead of holding on
