Head Held High Lyrics
Mama told me, ever since I was seven
"Hold your head up high"
My parents told me, ever since I was eleven
"Hold your head up high"They said the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high
Oh, just like I figured they're always disfigured
With their head up highNow I am older, I'm getting so much bolder
With my head up high
Oh, as I figured just like I figured
Since your head's up high, babyOh, now just like I figured you know they was disfigured
Hold your head high
You know they says the answer was to become a dancer
Hold your head up high, boyEver since I was a baby on my mama's knee
Oh, just to listen to what have everybody told me
And yes I didBut still the answer was to become a dancer
And hold your head up high
But, just like I figured they're always disfigured
They hold their heads up highWatch out
Yeah
Do the dog
Oh, watch outAnd now I'm older they say that I'm so much bolder
Got your head up high
Oh, oh the answer was, hey become a dancer
Head up highWell, but just like I figured they're always disfigured
They got their heads up high
But the answer was, now boy become a dancer
With your head up highOh head up high, yeah, yeah, yeah
Head up high, oh baby
Head up high, oh oh
Head up high, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Head up high
