Just Keep Your Head High
J-ust keep your head high,
O-ver and above the water;
N-ever quit but hang on,
A-nd don't ever surrender.
L-ose not your conviction,
Y-our hope and energy;
N-either eye will look sad, you'll emerge in victory.
D-rown not in running tears,
E-ven in the river of agony;
L-ook at the sky and think
O-f rising from the
S-ea.
S-o keep your head high,
A-nd take a deep breath;
N-ot for a moment will you sink,
T-rying to regain your strength.
O-ctober thirteenth morn, tell the truth without a lie;
S-eek salvation from God, just keep your head high.
