Day after Day seems like I push against the clouds They just keep blocking out the sun It seems since I was born I've wakened every blessed morning Down on my luck and up against the wind
Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by
Night after night seems like I rage against the moon But it don't ever light the dark I curse the falling rain But it won't stop for my complaining Down on my luck and up against the wind
Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry You'll do fine, you'll be good, you'll get by
Swimming against the tide and striking the indifferent air I'm swinging with empty hands Driving that empty dream
Day after Day I fend myself against heat But it don't ever cool the breeze Don't you stop, don't you run, don't you cry
