I've been from coast to coast
And I've seen the world for what it's worth
And I've read between the lines, finding little lies
It's not like you to act this way so tell me why you're being so shy
I don't wanna be another story you tell all your friends
Let's rewrite this story once again
Well if we start this fire, we will burn this world to ashes
Watch our lives as it passes by
From castles built from fear we'll fall under pressure
So keep your head held higher
Build me up, break me down, keep me beging for more
You are the reason that I cannot sleep at night
If time will let it, then we can fix it
My best efforts have gone to waste to show you I am different
It's a different day, I'm a different man
Well if we start this fire, we will burn this world to ashes
Watch our lives as it passes by
From castles built from fear we'll fall under pressure
So keep your head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
I'll keep my head held higher
And I will never come back down and I refuse to let us drown
Well if we start this fire, we will burn this world to ashes
Watch our lives as it passes by
(I'll keep my head held higher) From castles built from fear
(I'll keep my head held higher) We'll fall under pressure
I'll keep my head held higher, I'll keep my head held higher
