Troubles on the wild mind
Questions in the sleepless nights
Answers that we design
Only come in mays and mights

This tide gets you down
But swim up now, refuse to drown
There's so much to learn
You've just got to wait your turn
And when you think you've seen it all

Every time you look around
Life is gonna try to keep you down
Every time you look away
Someone's gonna come lead you astray

With the flick of a wrist
And the wink of an eye
With the twist of a tail
On the roll of a die
But keep your head held high

Head high!
Just because they told you so
That doesn't make it true
Sometimes the only sure things are
The instincts inside you

And time ain't your friend
Beauty always has to end
It's fine to be scared
We get here so unprepared
And when you think you've seen it all

Every time you look around
Life is gonna try to keep you down
Every time you look away
Someone's gonna come lead you astray
With the flick of a wrist
And the wink of an eye
With the twist of a tail
On the roll of a die
But keep your head held high

And I know it's hard to crack a smile sometimes
The panic drills its way into your mind
But don't lay down
Don't lay down
Every time you look around
Life is gonna try to keep you down
Every time you look away
Someone's gonna come lead you astray

With the flick of a wrist
And the wink of an eye
With the twist of a tail
On the roll of a die
But keep your head held high
Keep your head held high!
Head high!
