Ooooh-ooohh
hey-yeeeah
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
[VERSE 1:]
Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night
That things'll get better soon
I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now
[CHORUS:]
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
[VERSE 2:]
Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete
Dreamin' of the day
when you'll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good
in such a scene so bad (so so sad)
Seein other kids with their Tims on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin' for a day
when you get your chance to shine
Don't worry, there'll come a time
[CHORUS:]
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
[BRIDGE:]
Young girl sittin' on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)
Why did God choose to make my life so complex
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble is her only source of fun
I can almost guarantee you
It'll get better soooooon
[CHORUS:]
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you've got
And someday you will fly
