Son Volt - Back Against the Wall lyrics

No time to be wayward No time to be unwound With darkness at your doorstep Keep your feet on the ground There will be times of injustice Times when there's more lost than found Down times mixed with days of wonder A real-life spinning merry-go-round With this back against the wall All will soon be revealed Sirens sound and spirits fall With just this back against this wall The signs will serve as your guide Above the water with it held high May you always go the distance Through the darkness and the light All the signs say pick up the pieces All the signs say make a stand as one What survives the long cold winter Will be stronger and can't be undone With this back against the wall All will soon be revealed Sirens sound and spirits fall With just this back against this wall With this back against the wall All will soon be revealed Sirens sound and spirits fall With just this back against this wall
