PETER, PAUL AND MARY - With Your Face To The Wind (Harriet's Song) Lyrics

(Peter Yarrow)

[Chorus:]
With your face to the wind, I see you smilin' again
Spirit's movin' within, I know that you're gonna win

You've been down this road before
Somethin' inside tells you what's in store
Gotta remember what we're all here for
Ya gotta eat up the apple and spit out the core

[Chorus 2x]

You can get angry, you can curse
You can shout it out in rhyme or verse
And you can tell me that it's never been worse
Then take that old sows ear and turn it into a purse

[Chorus]

There are gifts that come like the rain
They make the plants grow, they drench you all the same
And there are gifts that took you years to see
Like the gift of the friend that you've been to me

Yes there are hands here to comfort you
And if you need there are tears to cry with you too
And there are hearts that will sing with you
And voices to cheer when you've finally made it through

[Chorus 2x]

Sometimes it takes the dark to let us see the light
You can't have that victory unless you've fought the fight
Sometimes it takes a winding road to lead us home
While you're windin' 'round my friend just don't go windin' 'round alone

[Chorus 2x]
