Ooooh-ooohh
hey-yeeeah

You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy

Poor kids pouring cold water in their cereal
Second hand clothes
Surviving is pivotal
Praying to God at night
That things´ll get better soon

I remember when I was in your position
Tried to tell people my story
But no one would really listen
I know times are hard right now
Happiness is hard to find right now

{Refrain:}
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy

Lookin out the window to a rose grows in concrete
Dreamin´ of the day when you´ll be standing on your own feet
Hard to find the good in such a scene so bad (so so sad)
Seein other kids with their Tims on
Fresh with Air Ones, wish I had one
Longin´ for a day when you get your chance to shine
Don´t worry, there´ll come a tiiiiiiime

{Refrain:}
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy

Young girl sittin´ on the steps of her duplex (mmmm)
Why you gotta choose to make my life so complex
Breathing to the beat of a slow, sad drum
Trouble leaves some moments for some fun
I can almost guarantee you
It´ll get better todaaaaaayyy

{Refrain:}
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy
You got to keep on keepin on
You got to keep your head up high
You gotta work with what you´ve got
And someday you will flyyyyy
