From the recording Heads Up
Whether it's in our career, or within movements we're a part of, a lot of times progress can seem very very slow. So slow it's barely perceptible. But then once in a while, those teeny tiny steps, all those efforts add up to something bigger than us, bigger than we imagined. And it snowballs into something that is undeniably powerful. This is what inspired the song.
Thanks to my friend John Navarrette for producing. This was one of our first collaborations together, and it's always such a blast working together.
Lyrics
When the world won't listen and your screams are weakened to whispers
You start to wonder if you'll ever be heard like you deserve
Remember the trouble that stays with status quo
Let's not give the dust time to settle on our knees
We'll keep our heads up, keep our heads high
We'll never give up, we'll never stop (oh)
Keep our heads up, it's just a matter of time
It's not a gamble as long as we're alive
We'll keep our heads up, keep our heads up
Keep our heads up (oh)
Ooohhhhhhh
It's been a long time coming, but I can feel we're getting closer
The harder we fight, the sweeter the final victory
As long as we stick together, we got nothing left to fear
Nothing's gonna break us, we're not gonna take no for answer
We'll keep our heads up, keep our heads high
We'll never give up, we'll never stop (oh)
Keep our heads up, it's just a matter of time
It's not a gamble as long as we're alive
We'll keep our heads up, keep our heads up
Keep our heads up (oh)
Ooohhhhhhh
