Lyrics:

Verse 1

When one door closes, heavy with doubt (Oh, heavy with doubt)

I stand in the storm, trying to figure it out (Figure it out)

But there’s a light in the distance, a soft glowing sign

A new road ahead, gonna be mine

Chorus

Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong 

Better days are comin’, won’t be long 

From the shadows of worry, hope will rise

A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

Verse 2

The waters get rough, but I won’t drown (No, I won’t drown)

I’ve been here before, and I’ve turned it around (Turned it around)

Each fall is a lesson, each step a climb

The rhythm of life, just keeping time

Chorus

Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong

Better days are comin’, won’t be long

From the shadows of worry, hope will rise

A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

Instrumental break (fiddle solo)

Reprise Verse 2

The waters get rough, but I won’t drown (No, I won’t drown)

I’ve been here before, and I’ve turned it around (Turned it around)

Each fall is a lesson, each step a climb

The rhythm of life, just keeping time

Bridge

Oh, I’ve walked through the fire, but I’m still here (I’m still here)

Every scar’s a story, every tear’s clear (tear’s clear)

The road may be long, but my spirit won’t fade

I’m stronger now from the choices I’ve made

Chorus

Oh, the winds may blow, but I’ll hold strong

Better days are comin’, won’t be long

From the shadows of worry, hope will rise

A brighter tomorrow, right before my eyes

Outro

The door may close, but I’m not done (I’m not done)

A brighter path is just begun (just begun)

I’ll keep on walkin’, with hope as my guide

With the winds at my back, and nothing to hide

[Instrumental outro:fiddle leading]
