Lyrics

Stay where it’s safe, don’t carry that load
They said, “Know your limits, don’t reach too high”
But I never learned how to live by their lines
I’ve had people question every move
Like they knew my future better than I do
But I stopped asking for a seat at the table
Built my own and made myself stable
I go against the current
When the current says turn back
I go against the current
When the world says stay on track
If the road wasn’t made for me
I’ll make another path
I don’t need to move with everybody
Just because they’re moving fast
Against the current
Against the current
I keep moving
I keep moving
I’ve been called stubborn
I’ve been called too much
But sometimes “too much”
Is exactly enough
I don’t need approval
I don’t need applause
I don’t need somebody else’s permission
To fight for what I want
I know the road gets harder
When you stop following the crowd
But I’d rather struggle toward my future
Than live somebody else’s out loud
I go against the current
When the current says turn back
I go against the current
When the world says stay on track
If the road wasn’t made for me
I’ll make another path
I don’t need to move with everybody
Just because they’re moving fast
Against the current
Against the current
I keep moving
I keep moving
There were moments I almost folded
Moments I questioned what I knew
But every time I looked around
I remembered why I started too
You don’t have to understand me
You don’t have to see the vision
You don’t have to believe in me
That’s never been a condition
I learned that being different
Isn’t something I should fear
Sometimes the road nobody takes
Is the road that gets you there
So let them go their way
I’ll go mine
Let them chase their timeline
I’ll chase mine
If I have to swim alone
I’ll swim
If I have to start again
I’ll begin
I go against the current
And I’m not turning back
I go against the current
I’m stronger for the fight I had
If the world says I can’t make it
I’ll answer with the fact
I’m still here
Still moving
Still building
Still on track
Against the current
Against the current
They can go their way
I’ll go mine.
