Listen to the wind
As it wakes up the trees
Singing it's song
Through the tinkling leaves.
Listen to the wind
Billowing sails on the lake
Pushing all the boats
And the wakes that they make.
Listen to the wind
Up in the sky
Allowing the birds
To go soaring on by.
Listen to the wind
On a cold winter's night
Knocking on our door
With all of it's might.
Listen to the wind
Howling it's fear
That a storm is coming
And soon will be here.
Listen to the wind
As it calms itself down
Still as can be
Not making a sound.
Listen to the wind.
