The winds of change are blowing again

Stirring up those memories found deep within;

So many things I used to do

Now seem so foolish and useless, too.

The years of pain are all that remain

While I search for the way to ease the strain.

I thank the Lord for keeping me sane

And take a deep breath of the winds of change.

It fills up my lungs and flows through my soul,

While cleansing my body from head to toe.

This road I follow seems long, it’s true,

For there’s no reason I can’t make it through.

I listen to birds and the songs they sing,

So happy and free they seem to be;

I long for their joy so naturally,

It’s sad that it took me so long to see;

Though the winds of change have helped me to

Turn away from the things I used to do.

The sky is clear and my soul is free,

Out from the darkness of what used to be;

My whole life is ahead of me,
