Kid - Amos Lee

Been kicked around so long you’re starting to get used to how it feels

The taste of blood that’s in your mouth that still somehow it always heals

Don’t know how you keep on getting up from all those ghostly blows

And all that pain that lingers deep down in the darkness where it grows

I know how hard it is to keep your head up kid

To keep your head up kid

And there you sit on high all tucked away and locked up in the clouds

Waiting for someone to finally come along and take you out

Into this bitter world that also often treated you so cruel

When they turn away you know that they will say that you’re a fool

I know how hard it is to keep your head up kid

I know how hard it is to keep your head up kid

And so patiently you waited for a love to come along

Take you out into this bitter world so often done you wrong

There you sit alone and there you shed a solitary tear

Listening to a song you think that no one else would ever hear

I know how hard it is to keep your head up kid

I know how hard it is to keep your head up

Keep your head up, keep your head up

Keep your head up, keep your head up
