Bend - Ben Sollee

When the storm comes

Will you reject the rain

If it falls not soft

If it falls not tame?

When the wind blows

And calls your name

Will you run in fear

Will you hide in shame?

Are you strong enough to bend?

Yes, don’t stand against the wind

Cause you know you’re gonna break

When age comes

Will you call me names?

Will you cut me down

Just to ease your pain?

When truth comes

Will you accept the blame?

Cause history will teach us

We were all on those plains

Are you strong enough to bend?

Don’t stand against the wind

Cause you know you’re gonna break

When love comes

Will you release the reins?

Will you change the words

To the song you sang?

Or when the smoke clears

Will your hope remain

To make some peace

On this land we claimed?

Are you strong enough to bend?

Don’t stand against the wind

Cause you know you’re gonna break

When the storm comes

Will you reject the rain

If it falls not soft

If it falls not tame?
