Lying in the Kalahari Desert as the hail hammered holes in my tent, I found myself in the middle of a storm that changed my life and inspired this song.

Oh don't be scared the sky's not breaking
It's just the wind and rain
Oh I'm not scared mother
Can't you hear he calls my name
Oh boy, the sky's not speaking
And the wind will never learn your name
Oh no you're wrong mother
And the wind and I, I think we'll run away
Once I'm Gone dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then
Oh don't be a fool my boy I tire of these tales
The wind is only wind and hails only hail
Oh I don't care mother
And please don't treat me like a child I'm not young
Oh boy, I'm sick of speaking
There's so much more to fear then just the wind and rain
Oh don't be scared mother
The wind and I, I think we'll run away
Once I'm Gone dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then
Once I'm Gone dream of me
The wind in my hair and sun at my feet
I'll run with rain and fall with wild things
Sing to it all as it sings to me
But that'll be then
