Story Behind The Song
Lyrics: Hold Your Head Up High
I woke up this morning
looked outside and the rain was falling
put my shoes on my feet
sing my song as i walk down the street
I made up my mind
clouds gonna part and the suns gonna shine
I ain't got the time
to waste it away sitting and crying
my momma told me long ago
if you wanna make your spirit rise
Hold your head up high x4
The temperatures rising
nothing but blue sky on the horizon
but my boss he keeps calling
he left me a voicemail it said that I'm stalling
I made up my mind
keeping my boundaries I'm drawing the line
I aint got the time
to answer the phone or make up a lie
my momma told me long ago
if you wanna make your spirit rise
You gotta
Hold your head up high
