Trial and tribulation made me who I am I've been looking back on how this all began To tell the truth I've never been an optimist Flowers bloom when we feel the opposite Reassessing the character to my narrative I became this fantasist Deep down I know I am on the right road It could be a capstone to my crescendo There's beauty in the struggle I'll go where the wind blows Where the wind blows (where the wind blows) It's out of my control You feel the pain, the strain, praying for better days Death is standing at the gates again And in my ear he's whispering defeat Now I'm questioning everything, everything Follow my lead and stand by me You're not the only one that's suffering Follow my lead and stand by me You're not the only one Deep down I know I am on the right road It could be a capstone to my crescendo There's beauty in the struggle I'll go where the wind blows Where the wind blows (where the wind blows) It's out of my control You feel the pain, the strain, praying for better days Death is standing at the gates again And in my ear he's whispering defeat Now I'm questioning everything, everything Follow my lead and stand by me You're not the only one that's suffering Follow my lead and stand by me You're not the only one Praying for better days Death is standing at the gates I'm hanging on to a beautiful feeling I held inside Once upon a time, I remember when it took over my whole life I'm longing to feel, something that is real A part of me has died, there's a thorn in my stride The universe smiles back at me whilst the rest remains a mystery Precipitate the pain and wash me away
