High Relief - Head Held High

While the city sleeps in suits and ties
I drink up the leftovers they leave behind
Coffee rings and grease stained hands
The footprints of a thousand men

They don’t see me, that’s alright
I know this place better at night
Every mess tells a human tale
I wipe it clean, leave no details

They clock out, I clock in
No applause, just discipline
I don’t need a path to be shone
I keep the lights on, on my own

WITH MY...
Head held high!
Head held high!
Safe and sound
Stand my ground
With my...
Head held high!
Head held high! Head held high!

Broken glass from a late-night fight
Dreams spilled out in fluorescent light
I sweep up anger, pride, and shame
Leave no trace, reset the stage

They don’t see me, that’s alright
I know this place better at night
Every mess tells a human tale
I wipe it clean, leave no details

Laugh it off, look away
You’ll need me when things go gray
I don’t need a path to be shone
I keep the lights on, on my own

WITH MY...
Head held high!
Head held high!
Safe and sound
Stand my ground
With my...
Head held high!
Head held high! Head held high!

Call me small, call me low
Call me small, call me low

Head held high!
Head held high!
Clean it up, keep it tight
Won't stop till the morning light
Head held high! Head held high!
Head held high!
Head held high! Head held high!
