Head Held High

[Verse]
I kept a list of every little crack
The crooked grin, the words I’d take right back
But all those marks are mine to understand
I’m learning how to hold them in my hands

[Pre-Chorus]
No perfect shape, no borrowed skin
I let the daylight find me as I am

[Chorus]
I take my whole self, every side of me
The rough and tender parts I used to hide
I’m still becoming, still becoming
I face tomorrow with my head held high

[Verse 2]
The old mistakes still visit now and then
I meet them kindly, then begin again
A little more sure-footed than before
I leave the latch undone and open doors

[Chorus]
I take my whole self, every side of me
The rough and tender parts I used to hide
I’m still becoming, still becoming
I face tomorrow with my head held high

[Bridge]
Let the next page wait beneath my hand
I don’t need to know the whole wide plan

[Final Chorus]
I take my whole self, every side of me
The rough and tender parts I used to hide
I’m still becoming, still becoming
I face tomorrow with my head held high
[Outro]
Still becoming, head held high
