Verse: 
D#                                  Bb F           
We set out to find something to hold 
D#                                      Bb F    
When seeking truth the answer is the road 
D#                                        Bb F    
When seeking wisdom the journey is your home 
D#                                    
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain 
                      Bb F    
Fight through the cold 


D#                                     Bb F     
We left ourselves behind on dancing wire 
D#                                              Bb F     
The loved ones we left back home will be our choir 
D#                                                Bb F     
Let the doubters be, The stick, the thorn, the briar 
D#                                                    
Fight through the wind, fight through the rain 
               Bb F 
Dance in the fire 

Pre Chorus: 
  
D#            Bb F 
Don't bless me 
D#                Bb F 
No, don't bless me 
   D#                      Bb F 
We don't want your blessings

No, don't bless me
