Story Behind The Song
I was singing in an American Airforce base in Germany and I felt the urge to write a song. The rest of the band went ice skating and I stayed behind with a guitar. I found myself running down semitones to create a pattern of notes and the first line of the tune arrived in my head. I transferred to keyboard and developed the musical pattern further around the chord of C minor.The res of the melody suggested itself very quickly, though a chorus took a little longer to create.
Song Description
It's about how wonderful the world around us is and how quickly the seasons change and time goes by. We should take every opportunity to experience all the world has to offer, including desire and deep emotion. All too soon, life has moved on.

Lyrics
Borne on the wind
Like a breath out of time
Like a leaf floating down to the ground
Life flying by
There's no time to begin
It's ended before it's been found
It's a bird flying high
It's a star in the sky
It's a dream it's unreal
But it's true
It's a stream rushing by
It'a a cloud in the sky
It's your heart let me feel
Take me through make it you
And it's your life it's your life
Come let me adore you
Come let me explore with you
It's your life it's your life
Come let me admire you
Ooh how I desire you
Wind blows the sand
In your eyes in your hair
As you walk dowen that long lonely road
And although it's cold and it's dark
And you're scared
And you cry 'cos you're
Out on your own
It's a bird flying high
It's a star in the sky
It'a a dream it's unreal
But it's true
It'a man falling down
It's the tears of a clown
It's your heart let me feel
Take me through
Make it you
And it's your life........
