Kid

Been kicked around so long

You're starting to get used to how it feels

The taste of blood that's in your mouth

There's still somehow it always heals

Don't know how you keep on getting up

From all those ghostly blows

And all that pain that lingers

Deep down in the darkness where it grows

I know how hard it is

To keep your head up kid

To keep your head up

Kid

And there you sit on high

All tucked away and locked up in the clouds

Waiting for someone to finally

Come along and take you out

Into this bitter world

That also often treated you so cruel

When they turn away

You know that they will say that you're a fool

I know how hard it is

To keep your head up kid

I know how hard it is

To keep your head up kid

And so patiently

You waited for a love to come along

Take you out into this bitter world

So often done you wrong

There you sit alone

And there you shed a solitary tear

Listening to a song

You think that no one else would ever hear

I know how hard it is

To keep your head up kid

I know hard it is

To keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep your head up

Keep your head up
