Steve Prudente - Headwind Lyrics

I awake to the sun in the morning
It shines down on my face
A cup of coffee, then I'm out the door
I'm entering the race
I'm grateful just to be alive
To see today's sunlight
Yesterday doesn't mean a thing
Today I'll get it right

But I'm a lone wolf, out on the road
I could use some help, to carry this load
Just a little boost, anything will do
If you only knew...

That if you would pick me up
You'd carry me so far
Now tell me why is that so Goddamn hard?

Now I know I'm a real tough guy
I may be small, but strong
Even though you pushed me back I'm
Stubborn as the day is long
But I refuse to fight this fight
'Cuz it's a battle I can't win
In a war against what's natural
I can't find one reason

My will to survive has carried me through
I've reached my place, all in spite of you
A test of will, and I made the show
But I hope that you know...

You could have picked me up
And carried me so far
Tell me why was that so Goddamn hard?

But no one needs to know
That the struggle was real
And I was in such pain
I still played my role
In spite of what I was feeling
But I came through again...

You could have picked me up
And carried me so far
But instead you pushed me back
And made my life so hard
I still can't believe I've come so Goddamn far
