Grateful heart and helpless mind that reels with every chance you take
Dreams never take me far away, hide me from your love
Wake to call your name;
And when you slow down you’ll surely say:I know blowing in the wind there’s a voice that calls my name;
“Don’t fear your life boy, grow and change.”
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
In the clearness of the spring, heard you calling heard you sing:
“This marks the end of all that’s through, I have a better plan for you”
Still, I’m afraid of what I am, save me from my soul
You can’t make me whole;
Still I find my voice and say:
I know blowing in the wind there’s a voice that calls my name;
“Don’t fear your life boy, grow and change.”
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
For a hundred years we wait, and with every breath we take
Learn to bury our mistake
Do I lead myself towards pain?
Every song we raise in vain, every fire only flame
Raise the children now to keep, every virtue that you seek;
Hoping one day they’ll receive
“We are nothing but the dust that gathers down below the plain;
We’ll be gone and you’ll remain.”
Now what was far away draws near, teach me to belong;
I know longer fear
I know blowing in the wind there’s a voice that calls my name;
“Don’t fear your life boy, grow and change.”
It came running through the earth where
The pine and tall grass grew;
Leading me always, close to you
