Song of the Wind Songtext

von Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson

Blow wind, blow
Further than a thousand winds
Blow wind, blow
Transporter of the clouds
Blow wind, blow
Fan of a thousand fires
Can't you see?
That every place you go
The people gotta need to understand
Yes, the people wanna know
Won't you blow wind, blow
Fly breeze, fly
Like a symbol of the change
Fly breeze, fly
Cuz' only you can conquer time
Fly breeze, fly
Between the sunshine and the rain
Can't you see?
Moving on from place to place
There's a need for peace
Written on everybody's face
Won't you fly breeze, fly
You alone have been to Africa
(To hear the rhythms of the drums)
And at the same time in America
(You breathe the morning sun)
I wanted to get word to my brothers
But I really didn't know how
Not until now
Until now
Blow wind, blow
Please tell em' don't give up the fight
And blow wind, blow
Through the calm and through the storm
Blow wind, blow
Between the pages of my life
Can't you see?
Traveling on the wings of time
That only you can look ahead
And see what's happenin' is clearly as you see
Behind
Won't you blow wind, blow
Please
Blow wind, blow
Please
Blow wind, blow
Blow wind, blow
