Against the Tide

[Intro] (Instrumental) [Verse 1] Every step I take, it feels like a fight, Going left when the world says right, I'm walking alone in the pouring rain, While everyone else is dry in their lanes. [Pre-Chorus] They say life's a dance, but I miss the beat, Climbing uphill, my own two feet, Why does it seem like the world conspires, To test my strength, to feed my fires? Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oooh-ooooh, why's it gotta be this way? Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oooh-ooooh, will I ever find my way? [Chorus] Against the tide, I'm swimming alone, Feeling the friction in every bone, Why is it hard, why can't it be, Easy for once, like it is for them, not me? [Verse 2] The harder I push, the more I slide back, Chasing dreams on a one-way track, They seem to glide, while I stumble and fall, Every time I rise, I hit another wall. [Pre-Chorus] They say life's a game, did I miss the rules?, Playing my part, but feeling like a fool, Why does it seem like I'm always in the way, To catch a break, no-no no-no, not today! Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oooh-ooooh, why's it gotta be this way? Oh-oh-oh, ooh-oooh-ooooh, will I ever find my way? [Chorus] Against the tide, I'm swimming alone, Feeling the friction in every bone, Why is it hard, why can't it be, Easy for once, like it is for them, not me? [Bridge] Anyone out there who feels the same? Fighting a battle, living in pain, Reach out your hand, let's face it together, We'll find our way through stormy weather. [Chorus] Against the tide, we're swimming alone, Feeling the friction in every bone, Why is it hard, why can't it be, Easy for once, like it is for them, not me? [Outro] But I'll keep fighting, I won't give in, I'll find my strength, I'll find my win, Against the tide, I’ll learn to fly, With every struggle, reaching for the sky.
