I made a lot of choices most have not been wise
But I have some really good friends Ive been fortunate to find
They get me through the lonely days when I want to stay inside myself
They get me out of my shell out into the world
I am coming back Im coming back again
I had lost everything and then I got it back again
I dug myself so deep, deep into a hole
That getting out was so far beyond my control
In the past Ive always had trouble on my mind
Im gonna take that feeling and leave it far behind
As I go down this path traveling through my fate
Lately I have begun to awake
It started out in Jackson and we moved across the land
And all the dehydration turned soil into sand
And then one day they hauled me away
And I was out there, out on my own
The thieves they came and went
They took everything in site
And then we got it back again
Oh I had to fight
And now then I woke up from the middle of the strangest dream
And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing
Hold your head high just as high as you can
Things will work out soon things will come round again
You see Ive got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go
I get lost even in the places that I know
Hold your head high just as high as you can
Things will work out soon things will come round again ooh
Hold your head high just as high as you can
Things will work out soon things will come round again
