Everyone’s got the white hot fire
Set ablaze by the wild desire
Find the call, climb the wall, take a fall or two
Though the smoke in your eyes clouds your judgment
Don’t forget to enjoy this moment
There’s no incentive to spend time hangin’ around
Tension’s high, you don’t know why you can’t shake it
Your eyes are closed, your heart exposed to the seasons
But hold your head up, hold it
If you keep lookin’ down, you’ll never know what’s ahead
So show them what you’re made of
Show them what you’re made of
But hold your head up, hold it
If you find that you’re losin’ that fire
Hold your head up a little bit higher
It’s a choice that you gotta make on your own
If the bridge don’t travel the distance
If the water’s a hard resistance
You’ll have to swim but the jump isn’t all that bad
Tension’s high, you don’t know why you can’t shake it
Your eyes are closed, your heart exposed to the seasons
But hold your head up, hold it
If you keep lookin’ down, you’ll never know what’s ahead
So show them what you’re made of
Show them what you’re made of
But hold your head up, hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
Hold it, hold it, hold it
So hold your head up, hold it
If you keep lookin’ down, you’ll never know what’s ahead
So show them what you’re made of
Show them what you’re made of
So hold your head up, hold it
