KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
LIFE IS TOUGH IT CAN THROW YA CURVES
CHEW YOU UP AND SPIT YOU OUT
THE BEST LAID PLANS CAN ALL GO WRONG
THAT’S WHAT THE WORLD’S ABOUT
YOU PICK OUT A GIRL AND YOU PLAN A LIFE
HAVE SOME KIDS AND A BIG BACKYARD
BUT SOMETIMES THINGS JUST DON’T WORK OUT
SOMETIMES THINGS ARE HARD
SO KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP ON TRYIN
NEVER LET YOURSELF GET DOWN
IF YOU DO YOUR BEST AND KEEP ON WORKING
KEEP YOUR TWO FEET ON THE GROUND
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP YOUR FOCUS
YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU TRY
KEEP YOU’RE EYES FO CUSED STRAIGHT AHEAD
AND DON’T LOOK BACK WITH ALARMING DREAD
KEEP YOUR HEAD UP
YOU TAKE A JOB YOU WERE TRAINED TO DO
AT THE UN I VERS I TY
YOU WERE GOIN TO TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM
THAT’S THE WAY IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
BUT AFTER AWHILE YOU REALIZED
THAT YOU PICKED THE WRONG CAREER
A BIG MISTAKE AND NOW WHAT TO DO
YOU WASTED FOUR LONG YEARS
(CHORUS)
YOU HAD NO FAITH DIDN’T BELIVE IN GOD
AS A CHILD GROWIN UP AT HOME
BUT NOW YOU’RE LOST AND SEARCHING
NOW THAT YOU ARE GROWN
SO TALK TO GOD AND SAY A PRAYER
EVEN THOUGH YOUR LIFE’S A MESS
HE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU
LIFE IS ONE BIG TEST
