they say you learn from your mistakes   well i guess i should be a genius   for all the times i've fallen on my face   tangled in my weakness   wishing someone would say      keep your head held high   don't stop believing   you are God's child   and His strength is stronger    than your weakness   keep your head held high      well it's a cryin shame   we're walkin around with our secrets   so afraid of what others might think   livin safe and livin defeated   wanting someone to say      keep your head held high   don't stop believing   you are God's child   and His strength is stronger   than your weakness   keep your head held high      we should confess our sin   and we should love   church it's time we begin   to build one another up   come on       keep your head held high   don't stop, don't stop believing no   you are God's child   and His strength is stronger   than your weakness   keep your head held high
