Neither my dark skin nor my tangled hair
Neither the black stripe nor the tattooed dragons
The love that I've given and that I received
That's what remains and that will speak for me
That will speak for me
That will speak for me
Head up high
Up high
Head up high
Let the world see you go past (right up)
Whoever loves you
Whoever really loves you
Will want you up high
Whoever loves you
Whoever really loves you
Will want you up high
There's no gold, treasure
or diamonds in your eyes
There's no number to measure, no matter what they say
The love I've given and that I received
That's what remains and that will speak for me
Head up high
Up high
Head up high
Let the world see you go past
Right up sparrowhawk1
Fly up high
Let the world see you go past
Up high
Whoever loves you
Whoever really loves you
Will want you up high
Whoever loves you
Whoever really loves you
Will want you up high
1. Normally the Spanish would be gavilán, so my guess is that this is femininised to suggest that the invisible person being addressed in the song is a woman. The alternative is that this is referring to a type of plant, though this seems unlikely given the next line.
