Take me backwardsTurn me aroundI cannot find my balanceOn the groundThis world is too heavyFor a feather falling quicklyAnd I wrote you a storyBut I'm afraid of how it endsAnd all my friends are doing wellAnd I'm still on the mendI'm gonna lay back downHope the wind takes me aroundI gotta find some courage in this town'Cause nobody's going to saveSomebody who won't changeI tried to be braveNothing's coming easyAnd all at onceI feel a little queasyOh, but if you lost my remedyWon't you please come and be with meIt's not like there's much betterNobody's grass is as green as mineI can't say that I'm satisfiedThree thousand miles from your kiss goodbyeI'm gonna lay back downHope the wind takes me aroundI gotta find some courage in this townAnd everybody's afraid'Cause chances come from changeAnd everybody's afraid'Cause chances come from break inChances are your breaking openI'm gonna lay back downHope the wind takes me aroundI gotta find some courage in this town'Cause nobody's going to saveSomebody who wont changeIt's time to be brave
