I will answer the wind
I will leave with the tide
I’ll be out on the road
Every chance I can ride
No matter how far
No matter how free
I’ll be along
If you’ll wait for me
There’ll be times when I rise
There’ll be times when I’ll fall
There’ll be times when it’s best
To say nothing at all
Know when you’re right
I’m letting it be
I’ll be around
If you’ll wait for me
If you’ll wait for me
And I’ll fight for the right to go over that hill
If it always means something to me
I will not be persuaded
I won’t be still
I’ll find a way to be free
In the cool of the night
In the heat of the day
If you’re ever in doubt
I’ll be on my way
Straight to your side
I guarantee
I’ll be around
If you’ll wait for me
If you’ll wait for me
