How it rambles round the moon, a let-go-of balloon
Nothing is forever, everything is soon
And my father as he stands, a perfect cartoon man
Heavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak:
“Hold your head up high”
Rise it up, it’s fine to rain, a time will come again
And misery’s no rest for weary gentlemen
See the human kind is you, like all the rest, down to
The scratches on the album that you’re singing to
Hold your head up high
Through the light and through the shadow,
I won’t wait it out, wait it out
Hold your head up high
Biting clovers in the lawn, a solitary fawn
Underground the new life thunders up and on
“This song was co-written with our friend Caitlin Canty, and took six years to complete,” the band’s Dave Senft says. “Some of the early drafts were written the day after Robin Williams’ death, and so for me the song will always conjure that particular loss, but in the context of this album and what all of us are thinking about today, I’ve come to think of it as less about loss and more about struggle against inequality and injustice. My hope is that the song is as flexible for our listeners as it has been for me.”

That’s a beautiful song. Thank you. “Everything is soon.”
