Gil Scott-Heron & Brian Jackson - Song of the Wind lyrics

[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
