"Hold Your Head Up High" lyrics

"Hold Your Head Up High"

How it rambles 'round the moon
A let-go-of balloon
Nothing is forever, everything is soon

And my father as he stands
A perfect cartoon man
Heavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak

Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high

Rise it up, it's fine terrain
The time will come again
And misery's no rest for weary gentlemen

See that humankind is you
Like all the rest, down to
The scratches on the album that you're singing to

Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high

Through the light and through the shadow
I won't wait it out, wait it out

Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high
Hold your head up high

Biting clovers in the lawn
A solitary fawn
Underground, the new life thunders up and on
