lyrics

Lay the cards on the ground and we’ll see where we’re heading
There are birds flying high, trees all standing proud
The smile on your face says you know the path we’re treading
‘Cos you’re born of the wind

All the silver and gold never brought you your freedom
But you know how these can take you to realms in other worlds
Don’t look back, don’t look down, just travel on with the seasons
‘Cos you’re born of the wind

So fly, fly to our old lands
And dream, dream of giants in the sky
And never betray our soul, ‘cos it’ll take you on and on forever
My child of the wind

Once long ago was a prince of old legend
He was brave, he was strong, and followed the old ways
He looked up to the stars above and was proud to remember
He was born of the wind

So fly, fly to our ancient lands
And dream, dream of giants in the sky
And never betray our soul, ‘cos it’ll take you on and on forever
My child of the wind

about

Patrick Jasper Lee Wales, UK

I am something of an activist with my music & literature. As an indigenous Rom Gypsy my cultural and artistic work explores the highs and lows of life/soul. I champion tribal origins, and the underdog in our modern times. I am tired of what this society tends to throw at us, especially innocent folk. I believe the awesome beauty of nature & the arts remains our only hope in this chaotic world. ... more
