We are men of destiny, our fates amalgamated in one
A B E
Comrades against adversity, heading for the setting sun
F#m A C# F#m
But all about us there are doubters who'l cheer us when the battle won
A B E
They said it could never be, said that it could never be done
A E
We're against the tide, with the wind in our face
A
With the Great Divide and a goal to chase
E
And if I don't survive, will you stay on the case
A
And will you testify in my place?
A A7 D
So bring on the storm and bring on the rain
A
When we're against the tide
E A
That's the time when we're on the top of our game
we are men of destiny, our fates amalgamated in one
Comrades against adversity, heading for the setting sun
But when the cruel winds blow, we'll be in the race
When your spirits are low, we'll put a smile on your face
When the going's slow, we're gonna pick up the pace
But with dignity and with grace
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
W're gonna weather the storm (we're gonna weather the storm)
So bring on the rain (so bring on the rain)
Weather the storm (weather the storm)
We're gonna shrug off the rain (we're gonna shrug off the rain)
When we're against the tide
That's the time when we're on top of our game
When we're against the tide, that's when we'll do our best
And they'll be all surprised when we stand the test
With a ticket to ride and a mutual quest together we'll stand the test
So bring on the storm (bring on the storm)
The thunder and rain (the thunder and rain)
Bring on the storm (bring on the storm)
Bring on the rain (bring on the rain)
When we're against the tide
That's the time when we're on top of our game
