[Verse 1]
Will it ever be?
I've tried so hard to find sweet serenity
Are you still afraid?
Just close your eyes and dream, and feel it fade away

[Chorus]
Time won't flow, everyone knows
When the pain fades away
And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high

[Verse 2]
It's taken some time
And I've given up the will to change your state of mind
Just try and understand
It's not so hard to see that I am just a man

[Chorus]
Time won't flow, everyone knows
When the pain fades away
And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high
[Interlude]

[Bridge]
So will it ever be?
I've tried so hard to find sweet serenity
Try and understand
It's not so hard to see that I am just a man

[Chorus]
Time won't flow, everyone knows
When the pain fades away
And dreams won't die, with tears in our eyes
You've got to hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high, yeah-yeah
Hold your head up high
