Keep Your Head Up Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She's lookin' for a job and to find a place to stay
She's lookin' for the hope in the empty promisin'
She's workin' two jobs, keepin' alive
She works in a restaurant burnin' day
She waits her life away, she wipes the tears away
[Pre-Chorus]
She cries inside
Every time she feels this way
And she's dyin' inside
Every time her baby cries, no
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
(Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly
[Verse 2]
We're killin' up the life, and the birds, and the trees
And we're suckin' up the air in the earth from under me
(It's never too late)
I can't even breathe (Just lean)
I can't even see (On me)
Keep your head up, don't give up today
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today
She's lookin' for a job and to find a place to stay
She's lookin' for the hope in the empty promisin'
She's workin' two jobs, keepin' alive
She works in a restaurant burnin' day
She waits her life away, she wipes the tears away
[Pre-Chorus]
She cries inside
Every time she feels this way
And she's dyin' inside
Every time her baby cries, no
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
(Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly
[Verse 2]
We're killin' up the life, and the birds, and the trees
And we're suckin' up the air in the earth from under me
(It's never too late)
I can't even breathe (Just lean)
I can't even see (On me)
Keep your head up, don't give up today
How long can we wait?
I wish that love would come today
[Pre-Chorus]
All you need is love
Tell you, I know it's coming soon
And all you need is just a moment, one or two
Keep your head up
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
Fly away, fly away, fly away (Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly
Oh my
[Bridge]
Everybody say that time is borrowed
And hangin' down your head just ain’t no good
And if you dare to rise above tomorrow
Just give yourself a chance, fight your circumstance
Rise and do it again (Rise up, yeah)
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky (Oh no)
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive (Oh no)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo, yeah, yeah)
(Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (Ho-oh-oh)
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive (I need you now)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo, yeah)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
Or we can just rise up, tell me now (I need you now)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Keep your head up)
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
(Keep your head up)
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today
(Keep your head up)
All you need is love
Tell you, I know it's coming soon
And all you need is just a moment, one or two
Keep your head up
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive
Give me your wings so we can fly
Fly away, fly away, fly away (Keep your head up tonight)
Keepin' your head up to the sky
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly
Oh my
[Bridge]
Everybody say that time is borrowed
And hangin' down your head just ain’t no good
And if you dare to rise above tomorrow
Just give yourself a chance, fight your circumstance
Rise and do it again (Rise up, yeah)
[Chorus]
Keepin' your head up to the sky (Oh no)
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive (Oh no)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo, yeah, yeah)
(Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (Ho-oh-oh)
Or we can just rise up, tell me now
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
Keepin' your mind up, stay alive (I need you now)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo, yeah)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
Keepin' your head up to the sky (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
Or we can just rise up, tell me now (I need you now)
Give me your wings so we can fly (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
(Keep your head up)
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
(Keep your head up)
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today
(Keep your head up)
[Outro]
The ol' sun's gonna rise on us today, today
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
The ol' sun's gonna rise on us today, today (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
I need you now
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
Keep your head up
The ol' sun's gonna rise on us today, today
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
I need your love (Keep your head up)
The ol' sun's gonna rise on us today, today (I need you now, I need your life right here today)
I need you now
Go on, shine in this blind old world today, today (Ho-oh-oh)
