I've made a lot of choices

Most have not been wise

But I have some really good friends

I have been fortunate enough to find

They get me through the lonely days

When I want to stay inside myself

Get me out of my shell

Out into the world

I am a-comin' back, I'm comin' 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, I've always had trouble on my mind

I'm gonna take that feelin' and leave it far behind

And as I go down this path, travelin' 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 the soil into sand

And then one day, they hauled me away

And I was out there, out on my own

And the thieves, they came and went

They took everything in sight

And then we got it back again

Oh, I had to fight

And now, then I woke up from the middle strangest dream

And everyone was there that I ever knew and they all began to sing

Oh, hold your head high, just as high as you can

Things will work out soon, things'll come round again

You see, I've got this fascination with all the wrong ways to go

I get lost even in the places that I know

Oh, hold your head high, just as high as you can

Things'll work out soon, things'll come round again

Hold your head high, just as high as you can

Things'll work out soon, things'll come round again
