Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul You know it's wrong what they've been sayin' And you knew all along that I would have to go
Find the place where light shines on my reflection A place where I can stand upon my own
Blow out on their own dear
I know everyone has their unspoken fear That eats away their senses and their humanity They carry all their secrets every night down to the river And they try so hard to drown them
Cause I'm working hard saving all my money And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
I could never hide this little light of mine If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide
Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me For I could not survive if they took you away
