Let the Wind Blow - Dar Williams

O the stories we could tell, my adventurous friend

And the perils that we faced on our journey homeward

We were sailing in the open and the storm was coming fast

So we jumped up to our posts, but the rudder split in half

So here comes the wave

It came crashing on the deck, twisted up the sail

But then we saw the land and we jumped into the sea

Let the wind blow, rescued in each other’s arms

We watched the sun rise up again

So we marched into the day, our machetes lifted high

Blazing through the thorny vines on our journey homeward

But we heard the distant cry and we saw the cloud of smoke

But by then it was too late, and we couldn’t turn around

So here comes the fire

We were coughing as we ran, trees fell in the path

But then we saw the rocks and we climbed 'til we were free

Let the wind blow, you pulled me up into your arms

We watched the sun rise up again
