Keep Your Head Up

I tried to be a King, I tried to be a clown

but no one ever laughed and no one ever bowed

I knew I had to turn my life around

When I couldn't fix myself I tried to change the world

Didn't know I only had to sing the words

People listening to something they had never heard before

One day you'll figure it out oh oh

No need to hurry, just take it slow

give yourself time enough to grow

When you're feeling low

keep your head up even though

things come down like dominos

Put your hands up, there you go ...

I tried to be a friend, turned out to be the fool

don't want to play these games, don't understand the rules

and no one ever showed me what to do

When I couldn't change the world I tried to fix myself

didn't realize that I was calling out for help

people reaching out their hands like I was someone else

you know

I tried to be a King, I tried to be a clown

but no one ever laughed and no one ever bowed
