Oh West Wind

These were our dreams

But we a shattered mess

Chasing love, trying to believe

Fear screaming and hearts wielding

Against all odds like curtains swept aside

Oh fierce west winds you've broken all our hearts

Like panes of glass, shards small and large

Cracked pots with weeds and roses all entwined

How shall we face this bold new dawn?

With faith in freedom's light

We fight

But no, the answer lies

Tis not our right to hold so tight

Let go and trust whispers the north

And in the end all wrongs will right

Music flows and words they fall

Collect them all

Bandage our souls

West wind relax your hold

Gentle, gentle you must blow

Whispering soft soothing songs

Pick up the pieces and now we're one

You and I as eagles fly

A feather floats into my hand

Sweet kiss, reminder of a promised past

But it's all right oh gentle wind

In the end all we need is what we have.
