Story Behind The Song

I was on yard duty one Saturday morning in 2004 sweeping up the many gum leaves on the front patio. The wind came up stirring the leaves sending many of them back to where I had begun sweeping. It was at this point that both the lyrics and the melody began to form in my mind and within twenty four hours was basically completed.

Song Description

Simbolically the wind represents the true driving force and enlightenment of the Holy Spirit or a man's willingness to follow where he is free and where his destiny lies.

Lyrics

WHERE THE WIND BLOWS

INTRO
VERSE 1 Where the wind blows; ORDER:
Whether sun or snow;
Where the wind blows; Intro, verse 1, verse 2, chorus, bridge
That?s where I?ll go.
Where the wind blows, verse 3, chorus, coda, outro
Over hill and vale;
That?s where I?ll set my sail;
Wherever the wind blows.

VERSE 2 Where the wind blows; © 2004 John Macdonald
I?ll learn and I?ll grow. Perth, Western Australia
Where the wind blows, phone: 61 8 93562036
Whether high or low, minmus@optusnet.com.au
Where the wind blows,
Over work or home;
That?s where I?ll always roam;
Wherever the wind blows,.

CHORUS Oh! oh! oh! Where the wind blows,
(REPEAT) is where I?ll go;
Listening and looking ahead.
Oh! oh! oh! Where the wind blows,
Is where I?ll go;
Only saying what needs to be said.

BRIDGE O, let me wander
On new paths today,
REPEAT O, let me see
Where the wind blows, I pray.
Searching through life
To find peace without strife;
I will walk every way,
Where the winds won?t stay.

VERSE 3 The wind will lead me
And my steps will be free.
The winds will lead me
And that?s where I?ll be.
The wind will lead me
On paths great and small;
I?ll hear its gentle call;
Wherever the wind blows.

CODA The wind is calling to you and me;
The wind is calling for you to be free.
REPEAT Wherever I hear that gentle blow
I?ll travel on where the wind does go
Where the wind blows I?ll go.
Where the wind blows I?ll go wh-oo-oo
