[Verse 1]
When your heart is free
It's easy to make a decision
When your head is clear
You know you have good judgment
But when your life is turning topsy-turvy
And you have no reasons for what's disturbing
Remember these words my father said to me
He said

[Chorus]
Keep your head up, don't say you love him (Keep your head up)
Walk away from all that has hurt you (Find your power)
Find your power, you know you're strong
Make that step and it will help you along (Mm, ooh)

[Verse 2]
When your mind's at peace (At peace)
Sleep comes so very peacefully (Ooh)
When you start to dream
They're wonderful and so very sweet
But when your life is turning topsy-turvy
And you have no answers for what's disturbing
Remember these words a preacher said to me
He said
[Chorus]
Keep your head up, don't say you love him (Keep your head up)
Walk away from all that has hurt you (Find your power)
Find your power, you know you're strong (Take that step)
Make that step and it will help you along (Mm-hmm)
Keep your head up, don't say you love him (Keep your head up)
Walk away from all that has hurt you (Find your power, yeah)
Find your power, you know you're strong (Take that step)
Make that step and it will help you along (No, oh)

[Bridge]
Why give up this time? You can win (You can win)
Why give up? This battle is within (Is within)
Why stay when you don't know what he's gonna do?
Why choose him when it's time to choose you? (When it's time to choose you)

[Chorus]
Keep your head up, don't say you love him (Keep your head up)
Walk away from all that has hurt you (Don't walk away)
Find your power, you know you're strong (You know you're strong)
Make that step and it will help you along (Help you along, oh)
Keep your head up, don't say you love him
Walk away from all that has hurt you (Keep your head, keep it up high)
Find your power, you know you're strong (To the sky)
Make that step and it will help you along
[Outro]
Keep your head up, ho (Ooh, hoo, hoo)
Keep your head up, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho (Keep, keep your head up)
Keep your head up, ho (Oh, woah, oh yeah, ooh, woah)
Ho (Better keep your head up, yeah)
Keep your head up, ho (Come on, love)
Keep your head up, ho, ho-ho-ho-ho (Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, girl, yeah)
Keep your head up, ho (Keep your head up to the sky, ooh)
Ho
