[Verse 1]
Dust on my boots
Sun in my eyes
Map on the dash
But the road just winds
Every mile I drive
Feels like I’m starting again
Heart beating fast
Running against the wind
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve stumbled on gravel
I’ve fallen on stone
I’ve asked every shadow
“Do I turn back home?”
[Chorus]
I’m running against the wind
Heart saying “try” when the fear says “quit”
Hope like a lantern held in my fist
Shaking, but I still hold it
I’m running against the wind
Every step burning, I breathe and I bend
I might bend, but I won’t give in
I’m never gonna, never gonna give up again (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Late night at the kitchen table
Bills in a stack, faith looking small
Mama’s voice on the cracked screen saying
“Baby, you were built to stand tall”
Tears in my coffee
Prayers on my lips
I lean into the storm
Let it taste my grit
[Chorus]
I’m running against the wind
Heart saying “try” when the fear says “quit”
Hope like a lantern held in my fist
Shaking, but I still hold it
I’m running against the wind
Every step burning, I breathe and I bend
I might bend, but I won’t give in
I’m never gonna, never gonna give up again
[Bridge]
One more hill
One more breath
Talk to the doubt
“Get off my chest”
If all I’ve got
Is this stubborn soul
Then this stubborn soul
Is enough to go
[Chorus]
I’m running against the wind
Heart saying “try” when the fear says “quit”
Hope like a lantern held in my fist
Shaking, but I still hold it
I’m running against the wind
Every scar shining like proof I lived
I might bend, but I won’t give in
I’m never gonna, never gonna give up again (hey!)
I’m never gonna, never gonna give up again
