Title:
“Lessons from the Wind”
Full song lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Passing by the city lights, [D] under the shadow of the night,
[Em] Searching for a place to hide, [C] away from all the noise outside.
[D] We’ve been walking different roads, [G] lost in our own little worlds,
[Em] Finding solace in the crowd, [C] where our voices can be heard.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re like the shoddy wheel, [D] turning against the tide,
[Em] Learning lessons from the wind, [C] with open hearts and minds.
[D] We’ll keep moving on, [G] even when the road gets rough,
[Em] Because we know that in the end, [C] love will always be enough.
(Verse 2)
[G] Through the seasons, we’ve traveled far, [D] guided by the northern star,
[Em] Along the way, we’ve left some scars, [C] but they’ve made us who we are.
[D] We’ve seen the world in shades of grey, [G] but we’ve never lost our way,
[Em] We know that every single day, [C] is a chance to make a change.
(Chorus)
[G] We’re like the shoddy wheel, [D] turning against the tide,
[Em] Learning lessons from the wind, [C] with open hearts and minds.
[D] We’ll keep moving on, [G] even when the road gets rough,
[Em] Because we know that in the end, [C] love will always be enough.
