Bend
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When the storm comes
Will you reject the rain
If it falls not soft
If it falls not tame?
When the wind blows
And calls your name
Will you run in fear
Will you hide in shame?
Are you strong enough to bend?
Yes, don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When ages comes
Will you call my name
Will you cut me down
Just to ease your pain?
When truth comes
Will you accept the blame?
Cos history will teach us
We were all on those plains
Are you strong enough to bend?
Don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When love comes
Will you release the rain
Will you change the world
To the song you sang?
Or when the smoke clears
Will your hope remain
To make some peace
On this land you claim?
Are you strong enough to bend?
Don't stand against the wind
Cos you know you're gonna break
When the storm comes
Will you reject the rain
If it falls not soft
If it falls not tame?
