“The roots go back to Thailand, where I was on a mission in 2008 and 2009. The wind there is sometimes filled with smog, but most surprises there felt like a fresh air. It’s also what Jesus says about the Spirit: ‘it’s like the wind that breathes where it wants to breathe.’ Unexpected.
lyrics
(Music and lyrics by Paul Cherryseed)
Why do you softly breathe
Not like tornados break
Bur not as common as the winds before
You shake the ground beneath my feet
Not like an earthquake
But you make me forget I’m standing on the floor
CHORUS
“Blood:water mission"
Progression, transmission
Helps against depression and aggression
A flood-border vision
Yields water’s submission
Let the eastern wind blow through me
Why do you gently burn?
Not like a forest fire
But not as quiet as a kindled flame
The wind blows us out of our boxes
With the gentle fire it rocks us
Why don’t we just get out
CHORUS
Let the eastern wind live it out
Live it out
Before the flood comes
Before the fire storms
Open my heart and my eyes
And I will sea/see
The love eventually
Like a captain going a hundred knots
New fish to catch at every wave
Why do you softly breathe?
Not like tornados break
But not as common as the winds before
