With the wind at my back, I turn away
Not knowing if I passed or failed the test.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.
I looked back - all I saw were shades of gray.
We will become just as good as the rest.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.
We did no harm and we did not betray.
Lifestyle choices are all they suggest.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.
It's different, but only a display.
We do what we do, but noone's impressed.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.
Judge as you must, we'll be okay
Beging the same - what they do in the West.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.
They think it isn't right - not the Bible way.
But I know now that we will still be blessed.
With the wind at my back, I turn away.
Taboos of this culture are here to stay.
