Yesterday I heard the wind
Today it was the talking of the snow
Tomorrow the sunshine will try to diminish both
But I will draw the line
Simplification can be fine
We know the oceans roar
Have seen icebergs off distant shore
And suffered the heat of sun midday
Had sea adventures disguised as play
Watched horses drawing wagons full of hay
And tornado chasers on this side of the fray
Known of sabers and soldiers guns
None of that can be fun
Dreams betrayed by other needs
Little people and their share of greed
Life becomes a so what, sort of
It is hard to sense what is most important
Shall I go with the wind?
Its song and force could be a friend
Will the dance in the rain bring me fame?
Or the sun, could it be won?
Oh my friend, it’s myself I’ll be
And I’ll stand tall for all, you’ll see
