JUST THE WIND

When you are walking

            along the way

you hear a voice

            behind you say

“This is the way,

            walk in it.”

You turn your head,

            but no one’s near

You put your hand

            up to your ear

and then you say,

            “Who said it?”

It’s just the wind,

            blowing through the trees

There’s no one talking

            there to me.

It’s just the wind;

            I’ve heard it blow before;

I’ll just keep walking

            to my own door.

It’s just the wind.

So you keep walking

            with head held high

refuse to listen

            or wonder why

or wonder who

            who said it.

There is a way

            that seems right to man

he makes his way

            and all his plans

his futile plans....

A voice cries behind you

and says, "I am the Way."

That voice stays behind you

'cause you won't go that way.

Yes, you are walking

            along the way

you hear a voice

            behind you say

“This is the way,

            walk in it.”

You turn your head,

            but no one’s near

You put your hand

            up to your ear

and then you say,

            “Who said it?”

It’s just the wind,

            blowing through the trees

There’s no one talking

            there to me.

It’s just the wind;

            I’ve heard it blow before;

I’ll just keep walking

            to my own door.

It’s just the wind,

            blowing through the trees

There’s no one talking

            there to me.

It’s just the wind;

            I’ve heard that voice before;

I’ll just keep walking

            to my own door.

It’s just the wind.
