Story behind the song
This is a song about the homeless, those that scour the garbage bins for discarded pop cans and bottles.
Lyrics
When Will The Wind Blow Strong?
Copyright September 6, 2003 Words and music by Stan Loh
VERSE 1
Another ride on the hope train,
Another unopened door,
Another pathway to more rain,
Dona019t know what gooda019s in store.
VERSE 2
Unending doubt of the future,
Descending probes in the dark,
Unbending roads to displeasure,
Where do the good things start?
CHORUS
When will the wind blow strong,
To refresh my troubled soul,
When will the wind blow strong,
Breath of God, make me whole,
There must be a reason,
Why I face this pain,
So if youa019re watching,
I will take the blame.
VERSE 3
Forever looking high up,
Forever the drained optimist,
Forever searching for the full cup,
Of gold that others missed.
(Repeat Chorus)
BRIDGE
Praise to you who serve the food line,
I rely on you all the time,
But I must make a stand,
So give me a helping hand,
Breath of God, blow, blowa026
TAG
Ia019m ready if you want me,
Ia019m ready dressed in rags,
Ia019m ready to face my Calvary,
To turn in my sinful bag.
