[Verse 1]
The thoughts from yesterday forgotten
I like the way this new skin feels
Bring me splinters of tomorrow
Collect the parts where I win
[Chorus]
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this
[Verse 2]
Concrete breath and dust filled tears
A one way ride to inner peace
I never thought I'd join the others
Those who use the dice to solve
[Chorus]
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
The dawn of a new day never looked
As good as this
[Chorus]
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise, I'll rise, I'll rise
[Outro]
Against the grain
Against the odds
Against the grain
Against the odds
I'll rise and I won't trip again
Against the grain
Against the odds
Against the grain
Against the odds
Against the grain
Against the odds
