Against The Grain

Taking chances on those broken branches

You can play it safe or play to win

Life's a gamble, time to pull that handle

As we throw all caution to the wind

They say it's better to have loved and lost

So let the games begin

I'm ready to move that mountain

Dodge anything in my way

A day older but I'm not countin'

I'm rising above the fray

I'm living my life out loud

I'm flying above the crowd

This time I'm breaking this chain

I'm living my life against the grain

Friends I know bow to the status quo

They're marching in a row afraid to complain

I won't conform I fly above the storm

And there's hell to pay, I'm taking the blame

And like the rebels from a different age

Freedom is calling my name

I'm ready to move that mountain

Dodge anything in my way

A day older but I'm not countin'

I'm rising above the fray

I'm living my life out loud

I'm flying above the crowd

This time I'm breaking this chain

I'm living my life against the grain

Like the rain in a raging fire

A song bird on a sparking wire

Singing stoned in a midnight choir

Going against the grain

I'm ready to move that mountain

Dodge anything in my way

A day older but I'm not countin'

I'm rising above the fray

I'm living my life out loud

I'm flying above the crowd

This time I'm breaking this chain

I'm living my life against the grain

I'm ready to move that mountain

Dodge anything in my way

A day older but I'm not countin'

I'm rising above the fray

I'm living my life out loud

I'm flying above the crowd

This time I'm breaking this chain

I'm living my life against the grain
