Against the Grain

You need not, to climb mountaintops

You need not, to cross the sea

You need not, to find a cure

for everything that makes you weak.

You need not to reach for the stars,

when life becomes so dark

and when the wind

does blow against the grain

you must follow your heart

you must follow your heart

when all your friends

have come and gone

the sun no longer shines

the happiness for which you long

is washed away, like an oceans tide

when all the hard times, outweigh the good

and all your words are misunderstood

when the day seems lost from the stars

you must follow your heart

you must follow your heart

If you feel, you paid the price

and your wounds should cease to heal

and everything you love in life,

spins like a winding wheel

if you should wake, to find you're abandoned.

and the road you travel, leads to a dead end

when death creeps in, to play it's part.

you must you follow your heart

you must follow your heart
