Solitude is her choice
The others joke around
They laugh and talk
Their work undone
Hold your head up
Keep striving and learning
Your future lies straight ahead
The kids call her weird
She walks and eats alone
When she talks to me
I see a bright and shining star
Hold your head up
Keep striving and learning
Your future lies straight ahead
These days will fly
The years will go by
Soak in all you can
The person you become
Starts with the person you are
Hold your head up
Keep striving and learning
Your future lies straight ahead
