Workers Song to Campers

The workers had a blast singing our PYC version of "Keep Your Head Up" by Andy Grammer. The original song is really positive and upbeat so we just adapted it to fit the PYC theme and encourage the campers as they go back home to "Seek perfection, Remember what you learnt at PYC!".




Keep Your Head Up Lyrics for PYC

Camp is nearly over and you might be sober
Thinking of going home
Missing all the friendships that you made here
The world can seem so cold

The glow that the sun gives
Right around sunset
Helps you realize
This is just a journey
Drop your worries
You are gonna turn out fine
Oh, you’ll turn out fine
Fine, oh, you’ll turn out fine

But you gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned at PYC
You gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned at PYC

I know it’s hard , know it’s hard
To stand out from the crowd
But you seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learnt at PeeeYC

Take  your hands out your pockets
Stop doing nothing
You shouldn’t watch your life go by
Don’t buy into skeptics
Skeptics mess with the confidence in your God

Don’t become worldly, or you’ll get tangled
You’ll start to compromise
Your life has a purpose
Keep your focus
Are you gonna stand your ground?
Oh, stand your ground
Ground, oh, stand your ground?

But you gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned at PYC
You gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned at PYC

I know it’s hard , know it’s hard
To stand out from the crowd
But you seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned at PeeeYC

You’re a princess, you’re a king
You can conquer anything
It’s not easy royalty
It’s worth the pain, worth the pain

You’re a princess, you’re a king
You can conquer anything
It’s not easy being royalty
It’s worth the pain, worth the pain

But you gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learnt at PYC
You gotta seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learnt at PYC

I know it’s hard , know it’s hard
To stand out from the crowd
But you seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learnt at PYC

Seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned
Seek perfection up, oh
Remember what you learned
Seek perfection, oh
Remember what you learned
