[Verse 1]
The day seems so very long
But I'm trying to be strong
(Trying to be strong)
Well, hold on, I say
Things will soon turn my way
And then I'll have a clear view
But I gotta keep
[Chorus]
Keep your head to the sky
(Keep your head to the sky)
I don't need to tell you why
(I don't need to tell you why you gotta keep)
Keep your head to the sky
(Keep it up, keep it up)
I don't need to tell you why
[Verse 2]
I sometimes get worried
And I wonder why I worry
'Cause I know that I will make it through the storm
I'm tryin' not to lose my cool
Because if in this world I do
The only person that's gonna miss out on everything is me
And I gotta keep
[Chorus]
Keep your head to the sky
(Keep your head to the sky)
I don't need to tell you why
(And I don't need to tell you why you gotta keep)
Keep your head to the sky
(Keep it up, keep it up)
I don't need to tell you why
[Bridge 1]
Ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, oh
Keep your head up (Keep your head)
Don't you look down for nobody
(Don't look back, don't you look down for nobody)
Don't you do it, don't you do it
Keep your head
[Chorus]
Keep your head (Keep it up, keep it up)
I don't need to tell you why
(I don't need to tell you why)
Keep your head
(Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up, keep it up)
I don't need to tell you why
[Bridge 2]
Everyday's a struggle
But struggling to be
Is very hard, so very hard
Because I'm out here trying to do the right thing
And when I look around here's the wrong thing
Tempting me to make me disagree
About how I feel about me
But I gotta keep
[Chorus]
Keep your head to the sky
I don't need to tell you why
(I'm telling you a reason you should keep your head)
Keep your head to the sky
(I don't need to tell you why, but you should keep your head up)
I don't need to tell you why
(All the way, don't look back, don't do it, no no no no)
Keep your head to the sky
(Be a leader, I'm telling you, yeah)
I don't need to tell you why
(I, I, I don't need to tell you why)
Keep your head to the sky
(You should keep your head up high)
I don't need to tell you why
