Lyrics
When Will The Wind Blow Strong?
Copyright September 6, 2003 Words and music by Stan Loh
This is a song about the homeless, those that scour the garbage bins for discarded pop cans and bottles.
VERSE 1
Another ride on the hope train,
Another unopened door,
Another pathway to more rain,
Don’t know what good’s 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 you’re 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, blow…
TAG
I’m ready if you want me,
I’m ready dressed in rags,
I’m ready to face my Calvary,
To turn in my sinful bag.
