Wind Songs

Song Cycle by Marilyn Bliss (b. 1954)

2. It Was the Wind
(Sung text)

Language: English

It was the wind that gave them life. 
It is the wind that comes out of our mouths now that gives us life. 
When it ceases to blow we die. 
In the skin at the tips of our fingers we see the trail of the wind. 
It shows us where the wind blew when our ancestors were created.
