[Verse 1]
How through the day, you would pray
You could trade for another life
I sent you a line
I said you were mine
Then morning rays through the haze
The golden blaze got a hold of you
It was the vision of light
That turned you around
[Verse 2]
You took the course that you bore
It was charted for you long ago
It left charted route
Left you drifting about
Your ship, took a trip
With hope of something bigger yet
And it would take you awhile
To mark your nautical mile
[Chorus 1]
Ooooh, ooooh
Turn against the current
Against the current
Ooooh, ooooh
Against the current
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus 2]
Ooooh, ooooh
Turn against the current
Ooooh, ooooh
Against the current
[Instrumental break 2]
[Chorus 3]
Ooooh, ooooh
Turn against the current
Ooooh, ooooh
Against the current
