Silhouettes and shadows rest
Waiting for the sun to set
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night

Before we start, before it’s dark
Know that I have come too far
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night

I’m not afraid, I will not break
I won’t be moved, I am awake
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night

Ain’t no river gonna rise today
Ain’t no valley gonna hand me shade
Ain’t no wind gonna turn me ‘round
Ain’t no fire gonna burn me down

I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
I’m gonna hold my head up and face the night
