[Verse 1]How it rambles 'round the moonA let-go-of balloonNothing is forever, everything is soonAnd my father as he standsA perfect cartoon manHeavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak[Chorus]Hold your head up highHold your head up high[Verse 2]Rise it up, it's fine terrainThe time will come againAnd misery's no rest for weary gentlemenSee that humankind is youLike all the rest, down toThe scratches on the album that you're singing to[Chorus]Hold your head up highHold your head up high[Bridge]Through the light and through the shadowI won't wait it out, wait it out[Chorus]Hold your head up highHold your head up highHold your head up high[Outro]Biting clovers in the lawnA solitary fawnUnderground, the new life thunders up and on
