Keep Your Chin Up

(album: Protection - 2016)

It's a contradiction wrapped up in a cliche,
It's the old catch 22.
They'll gently nudge you back into the margins,
It's "Do as I say not as I do".

Whoa
You're on the ropes again it's time to make a play,
Whoa
Dig deep and find the strength there's just no other way.

I know it seems like no one's in your corner,
I know you've thought of throwing in the towel.
It's hard to take it when you're hit below the belt again but,
I know you don't want to go back to the beginning,
Keep your chin up when they try and bring you down.

Well I've been called a lot worse than a cliche,
And I've seen a lot since I was 22.
Don't ever let yourself fall in the margins,
Doesn't matter what you say but what you do.

Whoa
You're on the ropes again it's time to make a play,
Whoa
Dig deep and find the strength there's just no other way.

I know it seems like no one's in your corner,
I know you've thought of throwing in the towel.
It's hard to take it when you're hit below the belt again but,
I know you don't want to go back to the beginning,
Keep your chin up when they try and bring you down.

Whoa
You're on the ropes again it's time to make a play,
Whoa
Dig deep and find the strength there's just no other way.

I know it seems like no one's in your corner,
I know you've thought of throwing in the towel.
It's hard to take it when you're hit below the belt again but,
I know you don't want to go back to the beginning,
Keep your chin up when they try and bring you down.

Keep your chin up when they try and bring you down.
