Against The Grain Songtext
von Benjamin

There′s a place for pain
And the care of the soul
To die is gain
So to live is the goal
If perspectives change
It's sometimes for the best
A chance to rearrange
To put faith to the test

I have walked a thousand miles against the grain
And I have seen the sun go down
Only to rise again
In the story of my life there is a scheme between the lines
The greatest things are born against the grain


At first it was a choice
Oh the hard way to go
But then it was a voice
Saying yes and saying no
The course was always tough
But this heart became strong
What grew out of the rough
Was the will to go on

I have walked a thousand miles against the grain
And I have seen the sun go down
Only to rise again
In the story of my life there is a scheme between the lines
The greatest things are born against the grain

I have felt the coarseness of the sand beneath my feet
I have felt the hand that rubs these edges smooth and clean

I have walked a thousand miles against the grain
And I have seen the sun go down
Only to rise again
In the story of my life there is a scheme between the lines
The greatest things are born against the grain
The greatest things are born against the grain
