about

I don't know about reincarnation, but if it exists, I'd like to be the wind; I'd go high and low, big and small, hot and cold.... everywhere and nowhere, any time I want. It covers it all for me.

lyrics

ONCE THE WIND
Trying all day and all night
To live life as I feel is right
Whether in pain or at ease
My thoughts run away with the breeze.

(Chorus)
I believe some other life
As sure as I have sinned
I was free to roam the skies
I was once the wind.
Through the canyons and the clouds
Flying high and low
Clearly I could see the path
I knew just where to go….. just like the wind.

I’ve worked so hard to get by
Only to ask myself “Why?”
Surely I must have a place
With winds of an unending grace.

(Chorus)
Somewhere down along the road
I think I lost my way
My hunger went unsatisfied
Convention didn’t pay.
Like the wind I am not seen
And now I’ve got to go
It's time to take another course
And get on with the show…. Just like the wind.

I just can’t help but dream on
That one day my fears will be gone
And when they are I will be free
Free to live my destiny.

(Chorus)
Set me loose just like the wind
Then I can reach them all
I’ll cut through all the darkness
And through every prison wall.
Past the oceans and the storms
I'll move both day and night.
And once they see what I can do
Then I’ll be out of sight…

(Chorus)
I could be so far away
But yet I’m always near
To the light or the abyss
I will show no fear.
If I could be like the wind
All I’d do is roam
In the crowd or solitude
Now I’m coming home…. Just like the wind.
