Head Held High - Early Version Remix; 2015 Remaster

[00:00.08] My mama told me, ever since I was seven,
[00:09.53] Hold your head up high.
[00:13.53] My parents toldmy ever since I was eleven,
[00:15.78] "Hold your head up high."
[00:19.56] They said the answer was to become a dancer,
[00:22.22] Hold your head high.
[00:25.87] Oh, just like I figured, they're always disfigured
[00:28.52] With their heads up high.
[00:32.16] Now I'm older, I'm getting so much bolder
[00:34.50] With my head up high
[00:35.67] Oh, as I figured, just like I figured
[00:36.73] Since your head's up high, baby.
[00:37.76] Oh, just like I figured,
[00:39.27] You know, they was disfigured
[00:40.41] Hold your head up high.
[00:42.39] You know, they says the answer was to become a dancer
[00:47.23] Hold your head high, boy.
[00:50.85]
[01:03.42] Ever since I was a baby on my mama's knee,
[01:09.97] Oh, just listened to what everybody told me,
[01:13.32] Oh yes I did. But still the answer was to become a dancer,
[01:18.53] And hold your head high,
[01:21.54] But, just like I figured, they're always disfigured,
[01:24.73] They hold their heads up high, Watch out!
[01:28.89] Do the dog! Oh, watch out!
[01:34.89] And now I'm older, they say I'm so much bolder
[01:37.19] Got your head up high.
[01:39.66] Oh, and the answer was, hey, to become a dancer,
[01:50.56] Head up high.
[01:53.43] Well, but just like I figured, they're always disfigured
[01:55.84] They got their heads up high.
[02:02.24] But the answer was, now, boy, to become a dancer
[02:18.12] With your head up high
[02:21.87] Head up high,
[02:25.08] Head up high...
