Against The Grain by City & Colour

“You need not to climb mountain tops,
you need not to cross the sea,
you need not to find a cure
for everything that makes you weak.

You need not to reach for the stars,
when life becomes so dark,
and when the wind
does blow against the grain
you must follow your heart.
You must follow your heart.

When all your friends have come and gone
and the sun no longer shines,
and the happiness for which you long
is washed away like an oceans tide.
When all the hard times outweigh the good
and all your words are misunderstood.
When the day seems lost from the start,
you must follow your heart.
You must follow your heart.

If you feel you’ve paid the price
and your wounds should cease to heal,
and everything you love in life
spins like a winding wheel.
If you should wake to find you’re abandoned.
and the road you travel leads to a dead end.
When death creeps in to play it’s part,
you must follow your heart.
You must follow your heart.”

Never thought that I would be listening to this song with the same heartache that accompanied me the first time around.
