Going Against The Grain

See her sitting by the road
Stones in her shoes
Tired of doing all the things
That other people do
Life’s jumping someone else’s train
She knows it’s time to make a change
And I saw her
Going against the grain

Eyes so bright and open wide
With her innocence and sorrow on her side
She followed many rivers
She waited at the crossroads for a while
‘Till she knew the way
Going against the grain

Like the whitest sail
She set out on the bluest sea
All you need is Sun and wind
She said to be free
People smiled and shook their heads
It doesn’t work that way they said
But I saw her
Going against the grain

Eyes so bright and open wide
With her innocence and sorrow on her side
She followed many rivers
She waited at the crossroads for a while
‘Till she knew the way
Going against the grain

That’s why
We didn’t know what she was thinking
That’s why
We didn’t know that she was there
Already there

She followed many rivers
She waited at the crossroads for a while
‘Till she knew the way
Going against the grain
