Lift Your Head

Sol Heilo

LIFT YOUR HEAD

It strikes, it strikes behind your knees
It hits so hard you cannot breathe
You're crawling on the dirty floor
And there's no tears in you anymore

You stay inside to hide the sun
She tells you that the day's begun
You can't stay out, you can't stay in
You can't escape the state

Your lips are hurting when you try
To crack your face into a smile
The spark inside your eyes is gone
The light is grim, the day's begun

But there is still a light somewhere
A light that never disappears
It's only hidden deep inside
Somewhere inside somewhere

So rise, so rise to sing this song
The darkness won't stay dark for long
Remember we are many who
Are reaching out to pull you through

So take our hands and lift your gaze
To let in the amazing grace!
For love will always be too strong
To be defeated, to be wrong
