Against the stream

Against the steam, against it all
I take my road towards the goal
Hate and objection all around
But I go up, I stand my ground

Alarms, shouts, chase or anger
Won't catch me, I won't be taken
Too many years in doubt spend
To let me stay and keep pretend

One turn is sharper than the other
I can leave the road but I'd rather
Die on the way than quit
Against them all but I will keep

Hundreds of kilometres behind
Do not say sorry for being blind
I understand how hard it is
To accept what you thought
you never missed
