Kansas - People Of The South Wind lyrics

There are some who can still remember All the things that we used to do But the days of our youth were numbered And the ones who survive it are few Oh, I can still see the smiling faces When the times were so good All in the old familiar places I'd go back if I could (to the) People of the south wind, people of the southern wind It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again Well, it's a hard thing to face the music: But it's something everybody has got to do So I hope that I can always remember All the crazy times we had to go through Now it's a dream that is slowly fading And I don't want it to go All of the memories are evading And I want you to know (it's the) People of the south wind, people of the southern wind It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again Now we've traveled all across the oceans And we've seen what there is to see But I guess it's not the proper solution Cause it's all about the same to me Now I look back and it makes me wonder Why we just couldn't see All of the battles we fought and won there And I wish that I could be with the People of the wind I want to see 'em again It's where we used to be free And that's the place for me It's just a state of my mind A thing that's so hard to find
