Hear the wind
The echo of the sound
The cry of the newborn
Life it is found
See the rain
The rain drops they fall
Mother comforts child
His christened name she calls
See the sun
Beneath is the boy
Surrounded by friends
Surrounded by toys
See him smile
His laughs so worth while
So many questions why
He asks about life
See him stand
From a boy to a man
He thinks he has the answers
He thinks he understands
See him be one day
One day so lonely
Till a woman she finds him
And fulfills his dreams
See the wisdom
Through the years he has learned
For wisdom is suffered
Through years and earned
See the old man
As he holds his wife
As the tears fall
As life passes her by
Now he walks
So frail and alone
Hear the wind…
Coming to take him home.
