Head Held High

[Verse 1]

Mama told me, ever since I was seven

"Hold your head up high"

My parents told me, ever since I was eleven

"Hold your head up high"

They said the answer was to become a dancer

Hold your head up high

Oh, just like I figured they're always disfigured

With their head up high

[Chorus]

Now I am older, I'm getting so much bolder

With my head up high (Head held high)

Oh, as I figured, just like I figured

Since your head's up high, baby (Head held high)

Oh, now just like I figured you know they was disfigured

Hold your head high (Head held high)

You know they says the answer was to become a dancer

Hold your head up high, boy (Head held high)

[Verse 2]

Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee

Oh, just to listen to what have everybody told me

And yes I did

But still the answer was to become a dancer

And hold your head up high

But just like I figured they're always disfigured

They hold their heads up high

Watch out

[Bridge]

Yeah

Do the dog

Oh

Watch out

[Chorus]

And now I'm older they say that I'm so much bolder

Got your head up high (Head held high)

Oh, oh the answer was, hey become a dancer

Head up high (Head held high)

Well, but just like I figured they're always disfigured

They got their heads up high (Head held high)

Oh, but the answer was, now boy become a dancer

With your head up high (Head held high)

[Outro]

Oh, head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah

Head held high, oh baby

Head held high, oh oh

Head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Head held high, oh

Head held high
