Sometimes the night starts closin' in
And I've lost my way home again
I'm runnin' out of places I can turn
Enemies on every side
Not a friend around for miles
That's the time it really starts to hurtBeat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraidI will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head highI know you said, "It'd be okay"
Sometimes I question just the same
I wonder if my problems are too small
Then I look back and realize
All your pain and sacrifice
Oh and how you suffered for us allBeat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraidI will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head highBeat me up and drag me down
And lock me in or keep me out
Whatever they may throw at me
I'll turn into a song for youI will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me downI will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head high
