Been  kicked around so long
You're  starting to get used  to how it feels
The  taste of blood that's in your mouth
There's  still somehow it  always heals
Don't  know how you keep on getting up
From  all those ghostly blows
And  all that pain that lingers
Deep  down in the darkness  where it grows
I  know how hard  it is
To  keep your  head up kid
To  keep your head  up
Kid
 (same as first)
 And there you sit on high
 All tucked away and locked up in the clouds
 Waiting for someone to finally
 Come along and take you out
 Into this bitter world
 That also often treated you so cruel
 When they turn away
 You know that they will say that you're a fool
I  know how hard  it  is
To  keep your  head up  kid
I  know how hard  it is
To  keep your  head up kid
 (same as 1)
 And so patiently
 You waited for a love to come along
 Take you out into this bitter world
 So often done you wrong
 There you sit alone
 And there you shed a solitary tear
 Listening to a song
 You think that no one else would ever hear
I  know how  hard it  is
To  keep your  head  up kid
I  know hard  it is
To  keep your  head up
 Keep your  head up
 Keep your  head up
 Keep your  head up
 Keep your  head up
 Pretty rough, but it's a start.
