The day was sad an' sore like most of other days Full of rain cold an' gray I never felt so tired as tired I am now Hangin' on the string of fate The hours come The hours go Counting steps I lose control Life still goes on Chorus Against the wind The years have gone Against the wind I stand alone Against the wind Without a fear Against the wind Without a tear I stood alone and watched my tied an' useless hands Tryin' to move tryin' to feel I see the shade of death that's sneakin' all around Waitin' for a chance to grab my soul The hours come The hours go A surrendering way Is not my own Life still goes on Chorus
