The Wind Rose Up
© 2003 Barbara T. Webber

The wind rose up today to blow my faith away
My hands are raw from holding on
I’m tempted to let go and be gone
See that kite sailing free and high
Till someone let loose of the string and it fell from the sky
The wind rose up today to blow my faith away

I’ve loved you for so long
Now I need you to be strong
Will you stand?
Will you plant your roots deep in the ground;
Will you brace me up when I’m battered down?
Will you stand?
Will you hold my kite strings in your hand?
Never let go, baby. Will you stand?
Cause the wind rose up today to blow my faith away.

Everyone sometimes someday gets tired and broken
Everyone needs a partner standing, love unspoken
Shown, not spoken.

Lazy clouds in the sky, love’s as easy as a sigh
But when the storm winds rage around
I need someone I can count on.
Will you stand?
Will you hold my heartstrings in your hand?
Never let go, baby will you stand?
Never let go, baby, will you stand?

Cause the wind rose up today to blow my faith away.
