[Verse 1]
Better's a painful view than a plank-filled eye
Keep your hand on your heart when the other's in a beehive
And better's a broken heart than an empty chest
Keep your hand to the heavens when the other's in a hornet's nest

[Refrain]
La, la-la-la-la-la-la

[Chorus]
You just gotta keep your head straight
And your hopes up
And your heart right
Brother, keep your head straight, hopes up, heart right

[Verse 2]
Brother, will you hold on hope when you got nothing left?
'Cause there's a underwater city that's found if you just hold your breath
Oh, cardiac, my brothеr Jack, I've got your back till the day that I die
Of a hеart attack, or something like that, I've got you

[Chorus]
So, you just gotta keep your head straight
And your hopes up
And your heart right
Brother, keep your head straight, hopes up, heart right
Your head straight
And your hopes up
And your heart right
Brother, keep your head straight, hopes up, heart right
[Refrain]
La, la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la-la

[Bridge]
Make sure your beds made, don't lose your sight
Keep your hopes up, and your heart right
Know you'll never have to fight alone
Yeah, there are bad days and real bad nights
And pain right before your eyes
But for every inch of dark, there's a mile of light
For every inch of dark, there's a mile of light

[Chorus]
You just gotta keep your head straight
And your hopes up
And your heart right
Brother, keep your head straight, hopes up, heart right
Head straight
And your hopes up
And your heart right
Brother, keep your head straight, hopes up, heart right

[Outro]
La, la-la-la-la-la-la
La, la-la-la-la-la
Head straight, hopes up, heart right!
