Against the Grain

You need not to climb mountain tops 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 And the sun no longer shines And the happiness for which you long Is washed away like an ocean's tide When all the hard times outweigh the good And all your words are misunderstood When the day seems lost from the start You must follow your heart You must follow your heart If you feel you've 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 traveled leads to a dead end When death creeps in to play its part You must follow your heart You must follow your heart
