Let the Wind Blow

Oh the stories we could tell

My adventurous friend

And the perils that we faced

On our journey homeward

We were sailing in the open

And the storm was coming fast

So we jumped up to our posts

But the rudder split in half

So here comes the wave

Came crashing on the deck

Twisted up the sail

Then we saw the land

And we jumped into the sea

Let the wind blow

Rescued in each other's arms

We watched the sun rise up again

So we marched into the day

Our machetes lifted high

Blazing through the thorny vines

On our journey homeward

We heard the distant cry

And we saw the cloud of smoke

But by then it was too late

We couldn't turn around

So here comes the fire

We were coughing as we ran

Trees fell in the path

Then we saw the rocks

And we climbed 'til we were free

Let the wind blow

You pulled me up into your arms

We watched the sun rise up again

As we scaled the deep crevasse

How we marveled at our fortunes

And the genius of our ways

I'm sorry for the day

We couldn't venture on

'Cause what I should have guessed

There was never any home

Will they find the splintered boat

The trunk of letters in the sand

And a flag upon the hill

Beyond the blackened forest

Down a winding garden path

There's a creaky little house

I'll be writing at my desk

Looking out upon my town

So here comes the end

I will close this book tonight

Pass the golden pen along

To the heroes of love

For a storytellers all

Let the wind blow

May they find their way home

And watch the sun rise up again

Oh let the wind blow

I will hold you in my dreams

And watch the sun rise up again
