Song of the Wind

[Verse 1: Gil Scott-Heron]
Blow, wind, blow
Further than a thousand wires
Blow, wind, blow
Transporter of the clouds
Blow, wind, blow
Fanner of a thousand fires, yeah
Can't you see?
That every place you go
Well, the people got a need to understand
Yes, some people want to know
Won't you blow, wind, blow?

[Verse 2: Gil Scott-Heron]
Fly, breeze, fly
Like a symbol of the change
And fly, breeze, fly
‘Cause only you can conquer time
Fly, breeze, fly
Between the sunshine and the rain
Can't you see?
Moving on from place to place
That there's a need for peace
Written on everybody's face
Won't you fly, breeze, fly?

[Verse 3: Gil Scott-Heron]
You alone have been to Africa
To hear the rhythms of the drums
And, at the same time, in America
You greet the morning sun
I wanted to get word to my brothers
But I really didn't know how
And not until now
Until now

[Verse 4: Gil Scott-Heron]
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?
I’m traveling on the wings of time
That only you can look ahead
And see what's happening as clearly as you see behind
Won't you blow, wind, blow
Please blow, wind, blow
Please blow, wind, blow
Blow, wind, blow
