Head Held High

Let's go, another episode
It's the same story all over the globe
Every where I go it's the same old struggle
People trying to put the pieces together to this puzzle called life
But tonight it's the end of the line
Gravity stops and clocks the hands of time
Cause you've been going through hell
Felt like you're trapped in a cell
You've been down and you need somebody's help
Where are they now?

When there ain't no end in sight
And you're overwhelmed by life
Don't forget to fight, you can make it right
Keep your head held high
You got a fire deep down inside
Light it up and let it shine
You don't need to hide, you were born to fly
Keep your head held high

And little Mary Lee, she should be merrily
Enjoying being sixteen but clearly she's not
And it's written on her face
Behind her makeup hiding a past she can't erase
Cause her momma told her she didn't want her
And daddy neither
And neither one of 'em told her they love her
So one after another she finds another lover
They take what they want
Then throw her out from under the covers
It's gonna get better, this is not forever
Baby girl you a star and you were made to fly
You're loved more than words, so touch the sky

You may be knocked down, but you're never out
You've got soul, you gon' rise
You are gonna make it, you are gonna win
You've got the heart of a champion
You are gonna make it, never gonna quit
They'll never stop the fire that's burning within
