Head Held High

Sometimes I swear I’m falling
No matter what I grab, I can’t slow down
As if somebody’s watching
I won’t let them see me wear a frown
Always good at stalling
That way they won’t know I’ve lost my crown
At times it’s upside down
I know I have more rounds

Didn’t feel like fighting
Did everything I could just to get by
For years I passed by lying
But if you'll ask me later, I'll deny
Noticed I missed smiling
In desperate need of change, I had to try
First time I found my “why”
I’ll push back, I’ll reply

Scared
Not giving up not breaking down
Repaired
Each scar I earn adds iron
It’s protecting me
Refueling my supply
So I keep my head held high

Pretend that it was nothing but
I didn’t think I’d make it out alive
Always hiding something
Act like I know the secret way to thrive
Restore faith where I’ve lost it
Remembering that people give me drive
Believe I can survive
This time I will survive

Learn to let go
It hurts to light the fire, I’m on low

Scared
Not giving up not breaking down
Repaired
Each scar I earn adds iron
It’s protecting me
Refueling my supply
So I keep my head held high
