When you're lonely and the heartache is bearing down
When a friend feels like the one thing that can't be found
And the fire that you once had is burning out
Oh, don't quit now (don't quit now)
I promise it won't always feel this way
Joy is rising and sorrow's gonna fade
Keep your head up and your heart wide open
Don't you give up, just keep on going
I know it's hard running in the dead of night
Jesus will be waiting at the finish line
Keep your head up (oh-oh)
Just keep your head up (oh-oh)
We're all strangers on the way to the promised land
Fighting battles that we don't understand
But every step, we're led by the Father's hand
Oh, don't give up
Keep your head up and your heart wide open
Don't you give up, just keep on going
I know it's hard running in the dead of night
But Jesus will be waiting at the finish line
Keep your head up (oh-oh)
Just keep your head up (oh-oh)
Keep your head up (oh-oh)
Just keep your head up (oh-oh)
Sometimes we're on the mountain top
Sometimes we're in the wilderness
But I promise you at Heaven's door
You'll see the beauty in all of this
There's beauty in all of this
Keep your head up and your heart wide open
Don't you give up, just keep on going
I know it's hard running in the dead of night
But Jesus will be waiting at the finish line
Keep your head up and your heart wide open (so keep your head up)
Don't you give up, just keep on going (oh, don't you give up)
I know it's hard running in the dead of night (hey)
But Jesus will be waiting at the finish line
Keep your head up (child, keep your head up) (oh-oh)
Just keep your head up (and keep your shoulders back) (oh-oh)
Keep your head up (it's gonna be alright) (oh-oh)
Just keep your head up (oh-oh)
