lyrics

The storm is raging all around, fit for neither man nor beast

But the South Island’s where your freedom’s found, the wind is how you’ll be released

So hold your hat, your scarf, your coat - don’t turn away, push right on through

You’re almost to that shore remote, so as in everything you do... (Chorus)

You gotta lean in, keep your ballast tight, drive your pistons hard, it’s
gonna be alright

Just remember keep your goal in sight — yeah, you gotta lean in.


 You gotta lean in, to the full force gale, grit your teeth as you seek to
prevail


 When you arrive it might seem a tall tale, but you gotta lean in.

Pelting rain or driving snow, your body screams “I’ve had enough!”


Whatever makes it a rough go, at altitude you need strong stuff


So zip up tight, tuck in your chin…tenacity will win the day


Push past the doubt you keep within — you’ll find yourself along the way..as long as you: (Chorus)

Bridge: You gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta-gotta lean in (x3)...to it all.

The weather might be calm and bright - the day serene, the sky all clear


But your inner world has had a fright, you’re facing down your deepest fear


Your task remains to forge ahead, confront the specter of its wrath


Choose carefully the ground you tread, there’s only one rewarding path...and that’s to lean in.

(Chorus, then end)
