Hold Your Head Up High

To my friends who are struggling with the results of this election, to my friends who are fearful of what the next 4 years will look like, to my LGBTQ, POC, and Muslim friends, 

I'm struggling with words. In those times I find myself turning to song. this is a song a wrote a couple weeks ago with my friend Blake. We didn't write it about this election, but in the last few days it has taken on new meaning. I hope that, at the very least, it brings you comfort and encouragement. We have a long journey ahead of us. Hold your head up high and press on.

Hold Your Head Up High

Written by Jameson Elder & Blake Mundell

Darlin’ you feel like you’ve been washed out to sea
The current is strong and the water is deep
You can hardly breathe 
You’re calling out to ears that once heard your cries
But your friends all turn to strangers at night
Leaving you behind
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high 
Darkness, only ever stays for so long
But your love runs deep and your courage is strong
So keep on 
Some days feel like ripples, some days like waves
Keep your anchor up and your heading straight  
You’ll be ok 
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high
Darlin’ hold your head up high 
Darlin’, you feel like you’ve been left in the cold
But there’s one thing I want you to know
You are not alone
