Lyrics
FIGHT THE FLOW
© Rob Benham / Chris Ring
You do not understand - but you will...
Is there a problem?
I'm lying here
Small and on my own,
And yes I'm frightened,
I'm scared to be alone
Who put us here?
What am I learning,
The tide is against me
But I'm not for turning...
I'm gonna fight the flow
Kick against all those
Who say you can't win,
They say you must let go,
Fight the flow
Swim upstream
Kicking and screaming,
Hollering 'no no no no,
No no no no no...'
Am I paranoid?
Or is it only
That I'm scared to go
And that I'm lonely
The alarm bell
It's calling me
I try not to hear it
I just wanna be free...
I'm gonna fight the flow
Kick against all those
Who say you can't win,
They say you must let go,
Fight the flow
Swim upstream
Kicking and screaming,
Hollering 'no no no no,
No no no no no...'
