"Back To The Wind" lyrics

"Back To The Wind"

Still recall how I was all
Fixed up in the hall
Yet still the wind
Seemed to pierce
Through me again
Through the veneer

Stay the same, know your name
For you are just a flame
Thought when I heard
Heard the news
As gold and red
Flickered and blew

So I have become
What I have become
What I have become
Is this all there is?
Is this all there is?
Is this what it is?

Oh my mother
How I saw her cover
Me up in her arms again

Hold on tight, always fight
Don't let fly the white
Always my creed
And there wasn't room
For any more need
At least not so soon

Now that I know what I didn't know
When I held your hand
Light streaming in
Opened your eyes
Saw me begin
To let go the prize

So I have become
What I have become
What I have become
Is this all there is?
Is this all there is?
Is this what it is?

Oh my mother
How I saw her cover
Me up in her arms again

Turn her back to the wind

Oh now my father
How I wished he'd bothered
To hold me in his arms again
Turn his back
Back to the wind
Back to the wind

Now that I'm turning
Now that I'm turning
The flame will keep burning
The flame will keep burning

Now that I'm turning
Now that I'm turning
The flame will keep burning
The flame will keep burning

So I have become
What I have become
What I have become
And this is all there is
This is all there is
This is what it is

So, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
Welcome to the world
