I Am Wind

With his cup o' tea on the hill top, here comes me to mess his morning up

His daily brew in his comfy chair but I'm here too as a blast of cold air

I'll blow away his comfort, freeze his tea

Till he goes inside disgruntled, muttering and cursing me

He says he loves it when I'm not there; relaxed and at peace in his comfy chair

No menace, nothing shaken, no urgent lurching to catch what I've taken

'Cos It's the end of the day when the sun's going down

But tomorrow, hey, and I'll be moving around

As the sun beats down on the tar and concrete

I'll twist and twirl around the city streets; I'll rise and curl in the growing heat

I am wind; a product of the sun and the sky with those who hover and fly

I am wind, not tethered to the bed of earth

With the air, I was there at the very birth and I'll be there at the very end

I am Wind

I'm a hardened soldier and I've got you surrounded

You can build a barrier but I'll find a way around it

I'm always on my way to somewhere new Where I can apply what I can do

Spin a windmill, fly a kite, fill a sail or bring a flag into sight

Bang a shutter, give you a fright; I'm something you can't defeat

I repeat; I am wind

A whirly gig in the tropics; you know, hey give me names

Battering the coastal hamlets with torrents of flooding rains

I pick up what I whip up from the foaming waves

And dump it on the meadows and the rolling plains

Snowflakes are cute as they sprinkle from heaven

In the north it's Christmas gifts and presents

Well, here's a gift and cute it isn't

Put me in the mix, you'll have a screaming blizzard

I can be gentle and welcome on a hot summer's day

But that's not the game that I like to play

At beachside places I'm out on a tear, oh, yeah

Blowing sand in your faces and tangling your hair

Waves on the cornfields, wrinkles on the sea

Pushing clouds across the sky, yeah, that's me

I am a worldly thing, I am wind; I am a worldly king I am wind

I am wind, not a friend; I am wind, I'll say it again; I am wind

I am wind; a product of the sun and the sky with those who hover and fly

I am wind, not tethered to the bed of earth

With the air, I was there at the very birth and I'll be there at the very end

I am Wind
