lyrics

Holding up to the wind, holding up to the wind
Are you holding up to wind, I'm holding up to the wind
Holding up to the wind

Oceans won't wash me away
Currents won't drag me away
Coming up for air, fill these lung
And reach for the shore. I'm at bay
Oceans won't tear me away

'Cause everything I said is the truth
Whenever I get lost in the blue
Every time I look in myself, I see you
I don't know what else there's to say
Wouldn't have it any other way
Everybody else after you won't do

Holding up to the wind, holding up to the wind
Are you holding up to wind, I'm holding up to the wind
Holding up to the wind

Fires will burn where they may
Earthquakes can shatter all day
I'm rooted down oh so deep
To a place they can't reach so
Fires will burn where they may

'Cause everything I said is the truth
Whenever I get lost in the blue
Every time I look in myself, I see you
I don't know what else there's to say
Wouldn't have it any other way
Everybody else after you won't do

'Cause everything I said is the truth
Whenever I get lost in the blue
Every time I look in myself, I see you
I don't know what else there's to say
Wouldn't have it any other way
Everybody else after you won't do

Holding up to the wind, holding up to the wind
Are you holding up to wind, I'm holding up to the wind
Holding up to the wind
