From the recording Something You Already Know

From the third chapter of the gospel of John.

Lyrics

You can’t hold the wind in the palm of your hand,
Try as you might you will not understand,
Its coming unknown and its going unplanned,
It can’t be contained by the mind of a man.

The wind, it will touch you, but it may not stay long,
You might even feel it in the sound of this song,
It blows through the stars, it will blow right through you,
The truth is in motion, to the motion be true.

The wind, it is blowing wherever it will,
Living and moving, it never stands still,
Descending each valley, it climbs every hill,
No one ever stopped it, no one ever will.

It’s the blast of the storm that is breaking you down,
And the calm winds of change that will turn you around,
Can’t see where it came from or which way it went,
But you know when it touches you, it’s heavensent.

It can’t be resisted and it will not be tamed,
Its name is so holy it cannot be named,
But just a whisper of wind will awaken the dead,
It’s time to get moving, that’s what it said.

For the wind moves around every unmoving rock,
You may try to stay static but the wind will not stop,
And the hurricane breeze, it may come as a shock,
‘Cause there’s nothing locked up that it cannot unlock.

The wind, it is blowing wherever it will,
Living and moving, it never stands still,
Descending each valley, it climbs every hill,
No one ever stopped it, no one ever will.

So let the wind carry you, let the wind fill,
Let the wind take you wherever it will.
