Seems to me the whole world moves in circles        

Seasons of the sun and mortal clay

Each life has a morning and an evening

Some lives do the journey in one day

When the days grow short in cold November

And the autumn leaves begin to fall

We remember June, July, September

And recall the days we had it all


Chorus:

 I was the wind - when I was free

 I was the wind – the wind was me

 I was the Earth - the sky - the sea

 I was the wind - when I was free


When the shadows fall across the future

And the sand runs quickly through the glass

We spend time in wise and wistful thinking

Of our lives and how they came to pass

In the silence of those quiet moments

Waiting for the dark encroaching night

We see joyous sparks of past adventure

Shining like a beacon in the night


Chorus:


Seems to me the whole world moves in circles

Seasons of the sun that slowly turn

Every passing day that we encounter

In its way a point of no return

Stars that shine above the sleeping forest

Weep for broken dreams that lie below

Witness to the everlasting cycle

Moving from the springtime to the snow


Chorus:


I Was The Wind
