A Mighty Wind

As I travel down the back roads of this home I love so much
Every carpenter and cowboy, every lame man on a crutch
They’re all talking about a feeling, or a taste that’s in the air
They’re all talking about this mighty wind that’s blowing everywhere
Oh a mighty winds a blowin', it’s kickin' up the sand
It’s blowin' out a message to every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowin', cross the land and cross the sea
It’s blowin' peace and freedom, it’s blowin' equality
From a lighthouse in Bar Harbor, to a bridge called Golden Gate
From a trawler down in Shreveport, to the shore of one great lake
There’s a star on the horizon, and it’s burning like a flare
It’s lighting up this mighty wind, that’s blowin' everywhere
Oh a mighty winds a blowin', it’s kickin' up the sand
It’s blowin' out a message to every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowin', cross the land and cross the sea
It’s blowin' peace and freedom, it’s blowin' equality
When the blind man sees the picture, when the deaf man hears the word
When the fisherman stops fishing, when the hunter spares the herd
We’ll still hear the wondrous story, of a world where people care
The story of this mighty wind that blowin' everywhere
Oh a mighty winds a blowin', it’s kickin' up the sand
It’s blowin' out a message to every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty winds a blowin', cross the land and across the sea
It’s blowin' peace and freedom, it’s blowin' equality
Yes it’s blowin' peace and freedom, it’s blowin' you and me
