Description
Over the years Jack has sent me music he's written, and then forgot about. Being an incorrigible pack rat, I was the perfect repository for these gems, and I've collected quite treasure from my good friend. I pulled this one out from ten years ago and was inspired. It felt like flight; a dream we all share. Jack re-recorded his song with some improvements, and I wrote the lyrics, (with the help of King David. The chorus is from Psalm 55.) Roxy was kind enough to put this together, and was a natural for the job. It was a joy for the three of us to work on this song together, (why do we call it work?) Hope you enjoy it. Terry

Lyrics
Wings on the Wind
Wherever we go we must keep watchful eyes
In this world there are snares for the fool and the wise
And nobody knows just where they will be
So many things hide behind what we see
We reached for the sky when we sprang from the ground
But we’re pressed to this earth where troubles abound
And we long to be free from gravity’s pull
But we will never escape this inflexible rule
And I said, Oh, that I had wings like a dove
For then would I fly away and be at rest
Lo, then would I wander far off
And remain in the wilderness
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest
What I wouldn’t give to have wings on the wind
And to rest without fear on a tree’s highest limb
And soaring so high with the world far below
Where trouble looks up, but it can’t touch your soul
Can you believe some birds never land?
Oh yes! Yes I can
Wherever we go we must keep watchful eyes
In this world there are snares for the fool and the wise
And nobody knows just where they will be
So many things hide behind what we see
We reached for the sky when we sprang from the ground
But we’re pressed to this earth where troubles abound
And we long to be free from gravity’s pull
But we will never escape this inflexible rule
And I said, Oh, that I had wings like a dove
For then would I fly away and be at rest
Lo, then would I wander far off
And remain in the wilderness
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest
What I wouldn’t give to have wings on the wind
And to rest without fear on a tree’s highest limb
And soaring so high with the world far below
Where trouble looks up, but it can’t touch your soul
Can you believe some birds never land?
Oh yes! Yes I can
