Description
Resilience comes in many forms - some survive quietly, while others do so with such gusto that even a storm pauses to watch. This one belongs to the second category. It is one of those who fall loudly but rise even louder. It thunders, sparkles, grows through concrete and then showers everyone around it - because even rain sometimes has character.
Every word conveys anger transformed into strength and stubbornness mixed with self-belief. This is an anthem for those who have buried themselves - more than once - but each time got up, dusted themselves off and moved on. Because the wind in the sails never dies down - it just sometimes pretends to be silent.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I came crashing down with the fall
Thrown like a stone, all out on my own
Lawless jungles taking a toll on me
When I feel darkness claiming my soul
I take to the heartland
I scream from the rooftops
I'm reaping the harvest, uh
I'm rain on the garden
You know I got a green thumb
Take to the heartland
I scream from the rooftops
I'm reaping the harvest, uh
I'm rain on the garden coming down
When the lights go out and I'm down on the floor
And you think my heart ain't beating no more
You better make sure I ain't breathing at all
'Cause I could do anything, I could do anything
And when the sun comes up and the truth comes out
And you think you know who I am now
You better keep my name right out of your mouth
'Cause I could do anything, yeah, I could do anything
If you're wondering if the wind's still in my sails, then, yes
It never left, hm, it never left, yeah
And if you're wondering if the wind's still in my sails, then, yes
It never left, trust, it never left
Close your eyes, you don't wanna see this
Don't mistake my kindness for weakness
'Cause I am not somebody you can leave out in the cold
And, if you slept on me, then you should know
I take to the heartland
I scream from the rooftops
I'm reaping the harvest
I'm rain on the garden
You know I got a green thumb
Take to the heartland
I scream from the rooftops
I'm reaping the harvest
I'm rain on the garden
You know I got a green thumb
When the lights go out and I'm down on the floor
And you think my heart ain't beating no more
You better make sure I ain't breathing at all
'Cause I could do anything, yeah, I could do anything
And when the sun comes up and the truth comes out
And you think you know who I am now
You better keep my name right out of your mouth
'Cause I could do anything, yeah, I could do anything
(Yeah)
When the lights go out and I'm down on the floor
And you think my heart ain't beating no more
You better make sure I ain't breathing at all
'Cause I could do anything, yeah, I could do anything
When the sun comes up and the truth comes out
And you think you know who I am now
You better keep my name right out of your mouth
'Cause I could do anything, yeah, I could do anything
And if you're wondering if the wind's still in my sails, then, yes
It never left, yeah, it never left
And if you're wondering if the wind's still in my sails, then, yes
It never left, trust, it never left
