Hold my head high Hold my head high If I speak, will you surrender? 'Cause I've held my tongue too many times I can't breathe under the pressure You know I've been sold too many lies I'm getting by in an unwelcoming world They've been looking for a stranger to burn They've been whispering some dangerous words Ooh, it's an unwelcoming world Hold my head high Keep my eyes dry Long days, hard nights It's an unwelcoming world Hold my head high Keep my eyes dry Long days, hard nights It's an unwelcoming world ♪ I've been on the low Looking for the promised land It's not really for me Try your best to understand I've been on the low Looking for the promised land It's not really for me Try your best to understand I'm getting by in an unwelcoming world They've been looking for a stranger to burn They've been whispering some dangerous words Ooh, it's an unwelcoming world You know I ain't telling the truth And I, and I Long days, hard nights It's an unwelcoming world
