So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up

Remember shadows on the path to the lake
When we would take our time, talking and drinking wine
Remember walking, yeah, with nowhere to go
Remember living in silence, just a look to know

Chorus:
So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up
So always keep your head up, your head up
