Against The Tide

They say we're strange, we don't fit in Living life by a different lens While they chase the easy way We got our eyes on a higher place They laugh, they mock, they don't understand Why we won't fold with the shifting sand But we're standing strong, heart open wide Walking proud as we swim against the tide We're not here to win their praise We're walking light in a world of haze We know who we are, we know why Living our lives for the other guy No matter what they say, we don't hide We're here to fight, we're going against The tide They try to tempt, try to pull us in To lose ourselves and let the darkness win But we're built on rock, not on the sand With a faith that won't break in this broken land Living wild, thinking that's free But freedom comes with accountability We hold our ground, we take our stand With purpose here, it's all part of the plan We're not here to win their praise We're walking light in a world of haze We know who we are, we know why Living our lives for the other guy No matter what they say, we don't hide We're here to fight, we're going against the tide I feel alone, but we're not blind Faith's got our back when they leave us behind Through every storm, through every doubt We rise above when the world wears out They can't see the peace inside In this faith that we live and abide We keep climbing with Him as our guide Standing firm as we swim against the tide We're not here to win their praise We're walking light in a world of haze We know who we are, we know why Living our lives for the other guy No matter what they say, we don't hide We're here to fight, we're going against the tide When the world fades, all said and done We'll know we lived, we're the only one Didn't bend, didn't break, stayed true Not for them, but for what's right and true We walk on faith, we follow His lead In this life, it's all we'll ever need Not bound to the world, we're free inside Blessing on as we swim against the tide We're not here to win their praise We're walking light in a world of haze We know who we are, we know why Living our lives for the other guy No matter what they say, we don't hide We're here to fight, we're going against the tide We're here to fight, we're going against the tide
