Spirit Wind - David Wilcox

So you’re driving from the funeral\nthrough the desert land,\nyou see something moving in the wind so wild,\nso you stop the car\nand you walk out to the edge of the sand.\nand you watch it fly…\nA wind-blown trash bag does a road-side ghost dance\nin the vast Mojave sky\nlike a living spirit just for one full minute\nright when you’re passing by\nIt hovers there up in the air\nup in that twist of dust and wind\nThe vortex slows, so it goes, dust to dust again.\nWhisper those words you heard:\n«Don't be afraid my friend»\nIt’s more than just dust to dust.\nYou’re mostly a spirit wind.\nDust to dust…\nSPIRIT WIND…\nIs this a sign to change your mind\ntempting you to trust?\nYes, you’re bound to die, but you’re made to fly\nlike that twist of wind and dust.\nThis precious chance to get this dance\nto get to live this life and feel…\nthis time and place, amazing grace,\nthe spirit wind is real\n(c)1999 Midnight Ocean Bonfire Music (ASCAP)/Cindy Lou My Dear (ASCAP)\nAll Rights Reserved/International Copyright Secured
