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
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've traveled leads to a dead-end
When death creeps in to play it's part
You must follow your heart
You must follow your heart.
