Keep Your Head Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When your heart is free, it's easy to make a decision
When your head is clear, you know you have good judgement
But when your life is turning topsy turvy and you have not reason for what's disturbing
Remember these words my father said to me
He said
Keep your head up, don't say you love him
Walk away from all this is hurting
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along
When your minds at peace (at peace) sleep comes co very peacefully
When you start to dream, they're wonderful and so very sweet
When your life is turning topsy turny and you have no answer for what's disturbing
Remember these words a preacher said to me
He said
Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all this is hurting
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along
Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all this is hurting
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along
Why give up, this time you can win (you can win)
Why give up this battle is within (is within)
Why step when you don't know what he's gonna go
Why choose him when it's time to choose you
Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all this is hurting
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along
Keep your head up don't say you love him
Walk away from all this is hurting
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along
Keep your head up (oooohhh)
Keep your head up (keep your)
Keep your head up (head up)
Keep your head up
Keep your head up (keep your head up)
Keep your head up
Keep your head up (come on come on come on come on girl)
Keep your head up (keep your head up to the sky ooohhhh)
