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
O won't you embrace me
O won't you embrace me
O won't you embrace me
O river won't you take me
Out into the sea
So I can get a good look back
At the land that grounds me
And then a bit more 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
O won't you embrace me
O won't you embrace me
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 into the sea
I can get a good look back at the land that grounds me
Land that grounds me
Land that grounds me
Land that grounds me
