The Wind

I'm taking off my gloves

And it may cause me some pain

Wrap my hands around the truth

What's a storm without rain?

That truth may cut you deep

And those cuts may never heal

But now that I have come this far

I just feel the need to feel.

When the rain falls you can drown

If the river pulls you in.

And the wind may knock you down

But you can climb back up again

Opened up my eyes

Not sure what I saw

Only thing I knew

It was headed for a fall

No matter where I walked

It was uneasy on the ground

Can't seem to find a lane

To make my way around

When the rain falls you can drown

If the river pulls you in.

And the wind may knock you down

But you can climb back up again

It ain't like me

To fade lightly

To give in easily

Won't be long now

Till I am strong now

When I play I play for keeps

I'm taking off my gloves

Right now its true

Cause you don't wanna be me

And I sure don't wanna be you
