Keep My Head High Lyrics

When the world's got me stressed, agony of defeat
And I'm working so damn hard just to make ends meet
My soul is strolling down a one-way dead-end street
But I just gotta keep my head high
I say "ohh, I know that I'm gonna get by"
Ohh, I just gotta keep my head high
I gotta live today or I'll die trying
In the game of being a man there ain't no crying
I'll keep it to myself when my mind's sighing
But I still gotta show my head's high
[chorus]
It's hard to keep my cool when my world's on fire
On the hill I am the fool, light my funeral pyre
My mind will always duel with my soul's desire

So I guess I gotta keep my head higher
