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
