Argent - Hold Your Head Up (Lyrics)

[alohablue]

I'm in a fight for my life I gave up hope on surviving then I heard the words to this song This gives me new strength to give it my last ounce of strength to carry on as long as I can and not lose my life

[kaliboo]

In the 70's women fought for freedoms and rights. We went through hell coming out of the 60's mindset. This song is an anthem to women who go through so much in society and home. To say hold your head up no matter what...is a tremendous statement made. Thank you Argent for trail blazing.

I was bullied unmercifully in school. This was my mantra, too.

Actually, they did me a favor. They just made me tough.

[lorettalynndavis]

Underrated. One of THE coolest songs EVER WRITTEN!

[elicadianne]

A sweet soul sent this song to me when I was having a bad night. Such a powerful song.

[cindylee]

Such a powerful message in just a few lyrics. Helped me with my PTSD due to an abusive ex. Great song!

I would like to thank Argent for this song in 1972 then then my Aunt Kay because I could hear it 1/2 mile away from the boat house where I slept. Great song for any generation or any time. Thank you

....I grew up in this trippy musical era, the 70’s !...we will hold our heads up high and get through this 2020 covid nightmare, so, I’m gonna change the word in this song from “ hold your head up woman to “ Hold your head up warrior “ because it’s what we are . Stay healthy, safe, happy. Oh, by the way I’m 62 years old, still reminisce to good old groovy days .

There were many cool rock bands in the 70s besides Deep Purple. This is one of the BEST!

Why shouldn't it be hold your head up woman? There are a lot (most) songs written about men by men. It's nice to hear a man giving a woman encouragement. Rock on everybody.

The first few lines are amazing and inspirational.

[Larrymh]

I never knew until now this song was written to a woman. Right on!

[edl]

Live by these words! It's always been my mantra...

Thanks Mr. Allen for those words. I grew up listening to this song but was never sure of what they were singing. Not all of it anyway. Now I do. Awesome! This makes a wonderful anthem for woman! For anyone really but I felt especially for woman. Isn’t that just great! No matter what, hold your head high!!! I feel that applies to everyone. And you can do it and don’t let it get you down. A great attitude! Okay, take care and hold your head high! Always! ❤️💜💚

I was 12 when this song came out... I was on vacation in upstate PA. 1/2 a mile away I could hear the bass line of this song. Weird the stuff you remember. Great Song & message

[ComplicatedCupcake]

I need this song right now. 2021 still relevant
