Head Held High

I keep my head held high
when I walk
when I talk
wherever I go
whatever I do

I keep my head held high
even when I have a burden weighing me down
even when I can't feel anything
even when I don't have to
even when I don't want to

So I hold my head high
I face my destiny
as I dangle
swaying from side to side

A stool fallen on the ground
My hands are limp by my sides
Unshed tears in my eyes
The hopelessness subsides

My head is held up high
even when I am gone
by a taut rope
