From the recording Trapeze
You Won’t Blow Away (2:51) Medium-tempo, bluesy. WriƩen to anybody who feels
defeated and finished when they face failure, but ulƟmately, one can choose to learn
and move forward. A caveat, if you sacrifice your principles by selling your soul, you’re
not likely to remain intact.
Lyrics
You Won’t Blow Away McDonnell (©2023)
You won’t blow away
If you don’t like the fix you’re in
You won’t blow away
If it feels like you never win
You won’t blow away
If you can take it on the chin
You won’t blow away
You won’t lose your heart
If it sometimes feels like stone
You won’t lose your heart
If you want something for your own
You won’t lose your heart
Even if your bird has flown
You won’t lose your heart
But it’s guaranteed you’ll be lost and unfound
If you sell your soul by the pound
You might stumble, you might fall, you might not get your way at all
But you won’t blow away
You won’t be left behind
If you break your magic wand
You won’t be left behind
If you return to Walden’s pond
You won’t be left behind
If you lose the path you’re on
You won’t be left behind
But it’s guaranteed you’ll be lost and unfound…
You won’t blow away (x2)
