Standing alone feeling you on my face...
like a soft gentle bursh stroking my cheek.
A calming, soothing breeze that touches me...
my mind relaxing as you blow across me.
Oh Where do you come from soft gentle wind...
who have you touched during your journey.

Oh where do you come from icy cold wind...
who have you touched during your journey.
You have shown us many different moods...
as you blow across the land.
From soft to hard and warm to cold....
making me wonder where you began.
Wondering where do you come from blowing wind...
how many have you touched during your journey.
