Holy Wind

 

Looking back on where we’ve been through countless centuries

Ages of unconsciousness through all of his story

Prophets, seers, and sages have tried to show the way

Yet shadows of the darkness have dimmed the light of day

 

As the winds of illusion steer the course of humanity

Profit over people is the dominant reality

An endless chain of suffering in a system based on greed

A paradigm perpetuated by you and me

 

Holy wind blow into my mind and chase the clouds away

Holy wind blow through my life and bring a brighter day

Holy wind sweep across this land like a healing hand

Holy wind lift away the veils to reveal the divine plan

 

Living on this garden planet blessed so abundantly

More than enough for everyone yet so many still in need

Tyranny, war, and famine and horrible atrocities

Yet we think we’re so advanced with our high technology

 

Holy wind blow into my mind and cut right through this haze

Holy wind blow through my life and illuminate my days

Holy wind reach far and wide to every corner of this land

Holy wind send compassion deep into the heart of man

 

Fear is like a chilling mist that penetrates so deep

Into the tissues of collective mind maintaining this waking sleep

With the myth of separation at the core of our belief

There’s so little room for vision of a grander scheme

 

Holy wind blow into my mind and clear out this debris

Holy wind blow through my life take all that I don’t need

Holy wind like a sacred fire burn through the layers of density

Holy wind like a mighty gale turn the tide within humanity

Oh can you hear our plea

Has there ever been a greater need

For a miracle to come to be

For a higher power to intercede

 

Our earth’s being trashed and plundered while our air’s unfit to breathe

As the goals of self interest cast us further from the dream

Many live in luxury while others out on the street

Such is how the deck is dealt while we preach equality

 

Holy wind blow into my mind lift this burden from me

Holy wind blow through my life and set my spirit free

Holy wind like a beam of light penetrate the darkest night

Holy wind like a righteous storm cleanse the error of our sight

 

People in their own neighborhoods don’t even feel safe

As ignorance feeds the appetite of prejudice and hate

While gross misuse of power is the game of heads of state

It would take a divine force to shift our chosen fate

 

Holy wind blow into my mind cast these blues to the ground 

Holy wind blow through my life and inspire a turnaround

Holy wind like a giant crash break free all prisoners of the past

Holy wind like a cosmic blast bring forth the change at last

 

Living out of balance from the seeds that we have sown

Disregard for other forms of life even our own

Thinking we’ve found the answers in inflatable theories

Yet the true power in this universe lies in that which is unseen

 

Holy wind blow into my mind and make my vision clear

Holy wind blow through my life release me from all fear

Holy wind touch each and every heart like a heavenly song

Holy wind with a force so strong strike the hour of the New Dawn
