Sometimes the night starts closing in
And I've lost my way home again
I'm running out of places I can turn
Enemies on every side
Not a friend around for miles
That's the time it really starts to hurt

PRE-CHORUS:
Beat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraid

CHORUS:
I will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head high

I know you said it'd be okay
Sometimes I question just the same
I wonder if my problems are too small
Then I look back and realize
All your pain and sacrifice
Oo, and how you suffered for us all

PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Beat me up and drag me down
And lock me in or keep out
Whatever they may throw at me
I'll turn in to a song for you
