“If you raise your head, take a look around you
If you raise your head, you don’t bend the knee
If you raise your head, you’re not afraid to seeIf you’re feeling sad, take a look around you
If you’re feeling sad, better turn off your TV
If you’re feeling sad, don’t get mad at meYou say you didn’t see that coming
You say that you don’t understand
You wonder why
You couldn’t see
With your head in the sandIf you raise your head, you can see the future
If you raise your head, you can see the past
If you raise your head, you’re not afraid at last . . .”
