Back Against the Wall
Son Volt Lyrics


No time to be wayward
No time to be unwound
With darkness at your doorstep
Keep your feet on the ground

There will be times of injustice
Times when there's more lost than found
Down times mixed with days of wonder
A real-life spinning merry-go-round
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall

The signs will serve as your guide
Above the water with it held high
May you always go the distance
Through the darkness and the light

All the signs say pick up the pieces
All the signs say make a stand as one
What survives the long cold winter
Will be stronger and can't be undone

With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall

With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
