Come, oh the wind

Come, oh the wind
with the muscle of a wrestler
come sweep through me
fiercely I say
and carry me away
away from myself
to a place so desert
and there I will find peace 

Come, oh the wind
come so fast and fierce
come like a hurricane 
come rake through me
and throw my sorrows away
to the wilds I say
and let them perish

Come, oh the wind
come rush through me
Inflate my dreams with hope
and propel them to fly high
gently like a helium-filled balloon
to reach the stars and moon

Come, oh the wind
come let me free
free from myself 
come let me be 
a soul I wish to be
