"Song Of The Wind" lyrics - GIL SCOTT-HERON

Blow wind blow
Futher than a thousand wires.
Blow wind blow
Transporter of the clouds.
Blow wind blow
Fanner of a thousand fires.
Can't you see that every place you go
The people got a need to understand
The people want to know
Won't you blow wind, blow?

Fly breeze fly
Like a symbol of a change.
Fly breeze fly
'Cause only you can conquer time.
Fly breeze fly
Between the sunshine and the rain.
Can't you see movin' on from place to place
That there's a need for peace written on everybody's face
Won't you fly breeze fly?

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
Not until now... until now.

Blow wind blow
Please tell them don't give up the fight.
Blow wind blow
Through the calm and through the storm.
Blow wind blow
Between the pages of my life.
Can't you see traveling on the wings of time
That only you can look ahead
And see what's happenin' as clearly as you see behind
Won't you blow wind blow?
