Lyrics

It don't matter if the cold wind blows
I'm gonna wind up working in the thick of it
Sunshine through the rain and snow
There's an oily brine bilge water baptism waiting below
That's just the waves slamming against the topsides' sound
Don't let the ever rolling motion go and get you down
Don't let it shake your steady thread cutting hand
Keep stealing ribbons from the steel and giving hell
To every halyard you can
In spite of all the wherewithal
To fight it all, I will face it all
In spite of all the wherewithal
To fight it all, I'll embrace it all
When every day's like a war between the will to go on
And a wish that the world would spiral into the sun
Turn your head toward the storm that's surely coming along
If the sun was always shining and our load always light
We'd be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
And we'd break under the weight of any pressure
That was ever applied
Will you be ready when the straw boss calls?
He's got an ever loving bone to pick with one and all
Don't let his condescension get you down
Just have the strength to know you're wrong
And when you're right, the strength to stand your ground
In spite of all the wherewithal
To fight it all, I will face it all
In spite of all the wherewithal
To fight it all, I'll embrace it all
(In spite of all) when every day (the wherewithal) is like a war
(To fight it all) you find no strength (I will face it all) from your usual source
(In spite of all) there's no peace (the wherewithal) there's no rest
(To fight it all) your fortitude is feeling (I will face it all) put to the test
(In spite of all) when every day is like a war
(The wherewithal) between the will to go on
(To fight it all) and a wish that the
(I will face it all) world would spiral into the sun
(In spite of all) turn your head toward the storm
(The wherewithal) that's surely coming along
If the sun was always shining and our load always light
We'd be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
And we'd break under the weight
Of any pain that ever came in this life
