O wind, won't you sweep me up into the sky
So I can get a better look
At this life of mine
And pick me up and twist me
Around so I can see
Everything around me now

O won't you embrace me( x 4)

O river won't take me
Out into the sea
So I can get a good look back
At the land that grounds me
and then a little further out
So I can feel alone
Much more than I have these days

O then won't you embrace me
O won't you embrace me (x3)

I figure there is time
Later on to move along
From this there is time
Enough of it for right or wrong
I figure there is time
So go easy on me
And let me stay here a while
Stay here awhile

O wind won't you take me up to the sky
I can get a good look down at this life of mine
River won't you take me out and to the sea
I can get a good look back at the land that grounds me

Land that grounds me (x3)
