La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Ever had a feeling that you can't go on?
Trying to be strong but getting weaker
Carrying the weight of every single day
Haven't lost your way, feeling defeated
Sat staring, counting spiral patterns on the wall
You wonder if your uck is ever gonna turn around, but oh
You need a little light to guide the way
We're on the sun to shine again
You got to keep you head held high
You got to keep you head held high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're all alone
You got to keep you head held high
You got to keep you head held high
Your bedroom carpet stained with rosé wine
Empty's left behind, the morning after
The distant purr of cars, on soaking roads
And the streets echos the noise of laughter
The bottom of the bottle, finds you almost every night
You wonder if your life is ever gonna turn right again
You need a little light to guide the way
We're on the sun to shine again
You got to keep you head held high
You got to keep you head held high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're all alone
You got to keep you head held high
You got to keep you head held high
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
Confused and battered by the motion of the changing tides
You're nearing empty and you've barely got the will to fight
You wonder if you're gonna live or if you will survive
Ohhh
You need a little light to guide the way
Waiting on the sun to shine again
You got to keep your head up high
You got to keep your head up high
You need a little hope to carry on
In the middle of the night when you're alone
You got to keep your head up high
You got to keep your head up high
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
