Lyrics
I don't need a trumpet blowing I don't need a crowd Pride sits in the quiet It never has to be loud Hold your head up quiet Let the work speak Hold your head up quiet Strong and meek Early up before the sun Hands know what to do Mend the fence, sweep the yard Honest work comes through Hold your head up quiet Let the work speak Hold your head up quiet Strong and meek Nobody sees, but Jah sees Nobody sees, but I know Small things done with a steady heart That's how the good seeds grow Evening comes, the day is done Tired but standing tall A little pride, a little prayer Enough to carry all Hold your head up quiet Let the work speak Hold your head up quiet Strong and meek Let the work speak Let the work speak
