Ben Sollee - Bend lyrics

When the storm comes Will you reject the rain If it falls not soft If it falls not tame? When the wind blows And calls your name Will you run in fear Will you hide in shame? Are you strong enough to bend? Yes, don't stand against the wind Cause you know you're gonna break When age comes Will you call me names? Will you cut me down Just to ease your pain? When truth comes Will you accept the blame? Cause history will teach us We were all on those plains Are you strong enough to bend? Don't stand against the wind Cause you know you're gonna break When love comes Will you release the reins? Will you change the words To the song you sang? Or when the smoke clears Will your hope remain To make some peace On this land we claimed? Are you strong enough to bend? Don't stand against the wind Cause you know you're gonna break When the storm comes Will you reject the rain If it falls not soft If it falls not tame?
