Against the Wind Lyrics
Moya BrennanMusic Video
Against the Wind
Na na Na na na na...
A wall strong in numbers
Burns the midnight candle
The brave arm in arm
Stands before them now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind
The game is in their hands
Calling out the colour
Togetherness, their courage
Recognize the power
Make a stand before them
Old ways follows the beaten track
Against the wind
Against the wind
[Instrumental]
Defying their leaders
Holding out for free will
The strong dare to echo
Nothing can stop
Nothing can stop us now
Up against the wind
Old ways up against the wind
The game is in your hands
Reach for every moment
In rising generations
Capturing the change
Make a stand before them
Old ways follows the beaten track
Against the wind...

Brief:
A song about perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. The lyrics suggest that even when life gets tough, we must keep moving forward and not give up on our dreams. The wind is used as a metaphor for the challenges and obstacles we face in life, and the song encourages us to keep pushing against it.
