37. See Me Hold My Head Up High

See me hold my head up high,
I don’t want you to see me cry,
I always try to be so strong,
Though often the workday is just too long.

See me hold my head up high,
Like a soldier I will always try,
To do the things expected of me,
Brave and strong I want to be.

See me hold my head up high,
I try so hard not to ask why,
Why I am a chosen one,
From the pain I cannot run.

See me hold my head up high,
What you see is just a lie,
What lies beneath you cannot see,
Is all the pain that lives in me.

See me hold my head up high,
I don’t want you to see me cry,
I’ve looked around no place to hide,
Please grant me some dignity and a little pride.
