Lyrics

Verse 1
It seems so tough to choose
You feel the fear because you never want to lose
stand to the side or strut your stuff
So hard to tell when enough is enough
I guess we don’t know how far to go
So just keep going until there’s no place to go…
Verse 2
It’s too easy to play it safe
too many people tryin’ to put you in your place
They just want what’s best for you
as they see it from their own point of view
Just smile politely and give em’ a shrug
and do your own thing…just do your own thing…..
Chorus 1
Just hold your head up
When you are fed up
with all that is around
Keep holding your head up
Hold your head up
and no one can bring you down
Verse 3
It doesn’t matter what they say
It’s your decision at the end of the day
so square your shoulders and take the stance
You won’t be getting what you want by chance
One more fight and another day
it’s up to you to make it your own way
Win or lose, only you decide
whether to stand your ground
or whether to run and hide
Round and round and round you go
and where you stop nobody knows
Chorus 2
Just hold your head up
When you are fed up
with all that is around
Keep holding your head up
Hold your head up
and no one can bring you down

Solo
Chorus 2
Just hold your head up
When you are fed up
with all that is around
Keep holding your head up
Hold your head up
and no one can bring you down
Just hold your head up
no one can bring you down
Keep holding your head up
If you are fed up
with all that is around
