Calling into the Wind

on continuing to sing and maintain faith through hardship

Calling into the Wind

I'm in mourning for ever even believing

for even one single second thinking

that I could ask the wind for anything

and he would just bring it right to me.

-

But I kept calling anyway

I keep calling anyway

-

I'll take my steps here one by one

but I will still keep calling to the sun:

"I know you can hear me!"

Fine, remain silent, but I'm on my way

-

I keep on calling,

I keep on calling along the way.

-

Well, I'm here now, aren't I?

I followed the trail up the tallest mountain.

This is as close as I can get to the sky,

and I'm out here, calling into the wind.

-

I'm in mourning for ever even believing

for even one single second thinking

that I could ask the wind for anything

and he would at least answer me

-

But I kept calling anyway

I keep calling anyway

Where are you?

I know you can hear me!

Can you hear me?

-

and I'm just calling

and calling

and calling

into the wind.

-

What else can I do but this?

Besides moving forward,

I am helpless.

I'm calling in to the wind.

    Sometimes, we keep calling even when there’s no answer, but maybe the journey itself is what matters. Keep going
