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 streamed in
Opened your eyes, saw me begin
To let go of 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

But now that I'm turning, now that I'm turning
The flame will keep burning, the flame will keep burning
But 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
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world, welcome to the world
Welcome to the world, welcome to the world, welcome to the world
