Day after Day seems like I push against the clouds
They just keep blocking out the sun
It seems since I was born

I've wakened every blessed morning
Down on my luck and up against the wind


Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by


Night after night seems like I rage against the moon
But it don't ever light the dark
I curse the falling rain

But it won't stop for my complaining
Down on my luck and up against the wind


Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by


Swimming against the tide and striking the indifferent air
I'm swinging with empty hands
Driving that empty dream


Mmmm


Day after Day I fend myself against heat
But it don't ever cool the breeze
Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
