You're not tough enough, you're not tough enough to lead
You better stand for somethin now or else you'll fall for anything
You're not good enough, you are way out of your league
You have heard these words a thousand times so what do you believe
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Where no one can bring it down
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Don't you bow out now

Swimming in a sea of insecurities
I know its hard to keep breathing
Can you rise above the flood of flaws
only you can see
Hold your head up high for me

Are you strong enough, are you strong enough to leave
it all behind you and the voice inside keeps telling you you're weak
Are you hard enough, are you crumbling beneath
the weight of all your dreams of everything they told you you can't be

Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Where no one can bring it down
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Don't you bow out now

Swimming in a sea of insecurities
I know its hard to keep breathing
Can you rise above the flood of flaws
only you can see
Hold your head up high for me
hold your head up high for me

No one can claim to be perfect
and if they do its a lie
So if you think its worth it
Go on go on and reach for the sky

Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Where no one can bring it down
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Don't you bow out
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Where no one can bring it down
Hold your head up, hold your head up high
Don't you bow out now

Swimming in a sea of insecurities
I know its hard to keep breathing
Can you rise above the flood of flaws
only you can see
Hold your head up high for me
hold you head up high for me
