Against the Grain - Seventh Wonder

Stop pretending like know it all

From the top of my lungs

I’m begging you all please stop

Cause even though I’m just a child

Still I see this isn’t real

A computer could never love

A machine could never feel

Live a life or live a dream

One girl against them all

Just the one to break the mold

And one voice and you can hear

A needle fall

(Lo and behold)

Like an island lost in a stream

It’s a nightmare that you call a dream

Cause you were raised to be honest

Now look at yourself

Can you righteously stand to defend

Your truth

From a slumber the world awoke

From the top of her lungs

With tears in her eyes she spoke

Cause that was all she knew how to

Words of fire stay cold

Does it matter if you win the world?

If to win you’ve lost your soul

Live a life or live a dream

One girl against them all

Just the one to break the mold

And one voice and you can hear

A needle fall

(Lo and behold)

Like an island lost in a stream

It’s a nightmare that you call a dream

Cause you were raised to be honest

Now look at you defending your ways

Your choice

Your truth

When our vision was blurred

And our hearts led astray

She opened our eyes for us

We must gather the greatest of minds we can find

There must be a way to survive

One girl against them all

(Lo and behold)

Like an island lost in a stream

It’s a nightmare that you call a dream

Cause you were raised to be honest

Now look at you defending your ways

Your choice

Your truth
