"Head Held High"


	Mama told me, ever since I was seven
	hold your head up high
	My parents told me ever since I was eleven
	hold your head up high

	They said the answer was to become a dancer
	hold your head up high
	Oh, just like I figured, they were all disfigured
	with their heads up high

	Now I'm older, I'm getting so much bolder
	with my head up high
	Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
	since your head's up high, baby

	Oh, now, just like I figured, you know, they was disfigured
	hold your head up high
	You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
	hold your head up high, boy

	Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee
	Oh, just listen to what everybody told me
	oh, yes, they did

	But still the answer was to become a dancer
	and hold your head up high
	But, just like I figured, they were all disfigured
	they hold their heads up high, watch out

	yeah, do the dog
	ooohhh, watch out

	And now, I'm older, they say I'm so much bolder
	got your head up high, oh, oh, oh
	Oh, the answer was, hey, become a dancer
	head up high

	Well, but just like I figured, they're always disfigured
	they got their heads up high, oh, wow
	But the answer was, now, boy, become a dancer
	with your head up high, oh

	Head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah
	head held high, oh, baby
	Head held high, oh, wow, now
	head held high, yeah, yeah, yeah
