[Future Islands - Give Us the Wind lyrics]

We set out to find something to hold
When seeking truth the answer is the road
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Fight through the wind
Fight through the rain
Fight through the cold

We left ourselves behind on dancing wire
The loved ones we left back
Home will be our choir let the doubters be
The stick, the thorn, the briar
Fight through the wind
Fight through the rain dance in the fire
Don't bless me no, don't bless me
We don't want your blessings don't bless me
We don't want your blessings

Give me the pen give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness
And pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind
Give us the storm give me the pen
Give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness
And pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind
Give us the storm

Pushing back the lake
We found something more like a song
In a word like the heartbreak of birds

And there, beneath the sand
Looking like the rain we found some god
And the will to change
We set out to find something to hold
When seeking truth the answer is the road
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home
Fight through the wind
Fight through the rain
Fight through the cold

Don't bless me no, don't bless me
Don't bless me
No, we don't want your blessings
Don't bless me no, don't bless me
Don't bless me we don't want your blessings
We don't want your blessings

Give me the pen give me the sword
Let me cut away the darkness
And pin it to the wall
Let us sing a song of beauty as before
Give us the wind, give us the wind
Give us the storm
