lyrics

You move the wind
And bow the prairies at your form
But these days the trees don’t sway
Save in the fury of a storm

From whence you come no one knows
To where you go by the blows
I’ve seen you move through the trees
But faith is found in the absence of breeze

You send the rain
And cast your arrows to the ground
Still sometimes the land is dry
Under the curses of a drought

From whence you come no one knows
To where you go by the blows
I’ve seen you move through the trees
But faith abounds in the absence of breeze

You shake the earth
Touch the mountains and they smoke
So I know you will fulfil
Every promise that you spoke.

From whence you come no one knows
To where you go by the blows
I’ve seen you move through the trees
I know you’re moving in me
I know you’re moving in me
But faith abounds in the absence
Faith abounds in the absence
Faith abounds in the absence of breeze
