Against All Odds (I’ll Do It)
Words and Music: Mickey Wynne
Many’s the time have I waited long
Many’s the time have I cried
Many’s the time have I spent alone
Many’s the time have I died.
Now it’s time for my surrender
Of all my guiltiness and pride
Now I’ve lost all my possessions
Now Ive nothing left to hide
Against all odds, I’ll do it
Whatever the past, I’m through it
Down through all of those rainy days and those darkest nights
Brings me closer to you
Now it’s time to stop my searching
Now I’ve found a thing that’s true
I will risk my name’s besmirching
But it’s worth it for you
Against all odds, I’ll do it etc.
I found myself outside in the cold
Nowhere to run nowhere to go
Then you through me a line, I was sinking fast
You pulled me up, now I want you to know
Against all odds, I’ll do it etc.
