Hold Your Head Up Lyrics - The Language Of My World - Macklemore

Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky 

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive 

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by 

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize 

Hold your head up, see, there's a light in the sky 

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive 

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by 

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize 

A friend of mine once told me 

We have many paths in this journey 

They act in different directions 

So when you question don't be worried 

It's not a wrong one 

Beauty can be found in all of 'em 

You'll meet people whose paths intersect but you don't know how long you'll walk with them 

'Cause the truth is, and it's so hard, but you'll never know 

How long we'll continue with our loved ones down this rugged road 

The path veers and it's clear that we must steer alone 

I've learned if you can't hold on to that moment that existed 

Let it go 

'Cause freedom is God 

Freedom is acknowledging the mask you have on and possessing the strength to take it off 

Freedom is accepting every step of the path and when it's hard having faith in the ability to embrace 

That's where you are 

And this is it 

The same shit that we work towards 

But go against in the same sense 

My friend hit me to some game and truth unravelled, she said 

"The brighter the light, the darker the shadow" 

And since I'm on cliché terms, knowing is half the battle 

But I don't know, so I just go with what was destined 

Life can be a burden or a blessing 

The choice is yours to be connected 

It's there if you want it, you got it, now let it

Hold your head up, there's a light in the sky 

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive 

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by 

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize 

Hold your head up, see, there's a light in the sky 

I know you're fed up, but you must try to survive 

Each moment's precious, don't let life pass you by 

Keep focused, keep your eyes on the prize 

I feel like I have nothing to give right now 

This is my trial 

Tribulations and it must go down 

But where's the up? 

I'm stuck with the broken smile 

No jokin' now, wantin' to grab a swish and smoke this out 

The moment of a man choosing what path I will go down 

Do I give in, give up, or get up and live right now? 

With a split gut, pick myself up and spit my style 

This is the only thing that can hold my ground 

You're born into this world alone and alone you'll go out 

All I have is myself and everyone else I doubt 

You can only trust yourself and depend on the help of the pound 

Inside the chest that beats with the breath of the now 

No sunshine when she's gone, I can only see clouds 

No homies can hold me down, the spirit's testing me now 

But I can withstand this world, but it seems so foul 

Flood of emotions, it's like I'm being held down to drown 

Hell's right around the corner, but I can turn it around 

You always have a choice, no matter the situation, you're not bound 

To nothing, to no one 

You're chosen for this job 

This is your life, you can't escape this bitch when it's hard 

Just know that it passes, but you'll collect scars 

They never go away but they will make you who you are 

This is a beautiful struggle, I share it in song 'cause 

I can't control this, remember 

The moment's beyond us
