Zeilen op de wind van vandaag

Sailing on Today's Wind
When you thought I was being carried, you had to haul
When you thought It's just a pill to swallow, you had to chew
When you thought I want to stop, just start
And just when you wanted to go out, you went in
When you thought It's too much for me, then it became less
When you thought I'm a caterpillar, you turned out to be a butterfly
When you thought you won something, you lost
And when you thought Now I'm going to die, you were born
You have to sail on today's wind
Yesterday's wind won't help you move forward
Tomorrow's wind might not show up
You have to sail on today's wind
When you thought Now it's going to get better, it got worse
When you thought I give up, you turned out to be a fighter
And when you thought to be a realist, a dreamer
When you thought Now it's going to be winter, it became summer
When you thought It will be delivered, you had to go get it
And when you thought I'll get something back, you had to pay
When you thought I stand alone, then you could seek shelter
When you thought It's a joke, you had to cry
