Westwind

Lyrics

This song was, eh, I was told to sing by Miriam Makeba
 And she is my dear friend
 And it is a prayer
 Those of you who are fans of hers will remember this song
 Westwind blow ye gentle
 Over the shores of yesterday
 My sun is brown and over
 Here within my heart they lay, they lay
 Westwind with your wisdom
 Gather all the young for me
 Black cloud hanging over
 Nest your bosom strong and free
 Got each gallon water is plane
 Got each gallon water is plane
 'Cos I am the soil from which they came
 I am the soil from which they came
 So Westwind with your splendor
 Take my people by the hand
 Spread your glory sunshine off
 And unify my promised land
 Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us
 Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us
 Unify us don't divide us, unify us don't divide us
 Unify us don't divide us
 ♪
 Westwind with your splendor
 Take my people by the hand
 Spread your glory sunshine out
 Unify my promised land
 Unify my promised land
 Unify my promised land
