I'm down here waitin' on a shattered heart

I'm gonna put it back together if it tears me apart

If I can keep it up

If I can keep it up

I've been complaining like a broken record

Gonna get what I want if it takes forever

If I can keep it up

If I can keep it up



Though the rain weighs down your wings,

Still the caged bird's got to sing



I know it seems funny tryin' to understand

It's just that things don't always go the way you planned

Still you keep it up

Still you keep it up

Nothin' in the world's gonna keep me down

I'm just a-holdin' out, just a-hangin' round

Tryin' to keep it up

Just to keep it up



Though the rain weighs down your wings,

Still the caged bird's got to sing



Keep it up (x4)



747's gonna take us away

Take us up to heaven, gonna be okay

If we can keep it up

If we can keep it up



Though the rain weighs down your wings,

Still the caged bird's got to sing



Keep it up (x8)
