Against the Grain (demo) Lyrics

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 stars
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

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
