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

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 


 
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
