Don't blame the wind

Tonight I walk through the Kalahari sand Feel the heat in the palm of the land I remember before you began Soft steps I have watched every line that you crossed Every river you slowly lost Every silence it cost In the wind, there’s a truth you ignore You’ve been told this before Many times Every tree that you took from the ground Now is gone, not a sound Left behind ’Cause tonight, I’m awake, I’m alive Sharp eyes, desert skies I don’t scare easy You burned the roots just to rise too fast Now you stand in the ash of your past And you wonder why nothing lasts Don’t blame the wind - it was you Don’t blame the rain - it was you Don’t blame the land - you took Now look… now look Today You speak like you care for the ground But your hands keep tearing it down While you turn your head around I see All the roads where the wild used to be All the shade that you chose not to keep All the things you don’t see ’Cause tonight, I’m awake, I’m alive Wild heart, desert skies I see clearly You called it growth, but it fed the fire Now the heat keeps climbing higher And the night gives you no relief Don’t blame the wind - it was you Don’t blame the rain - you knew Don’t blame the land - you took Now look… now look Don’t blame the wind - it was you Don’t blame the rain - you knew Don’t blame the land - you took Now look… now look Don’t blame the wind -it was you Don’t blame the rain -it’s gone Don’t blame the past -you knew
