Verse 1
As I travel down the back roads,
Of this home I love so much,
Every carpenter and cowboy,
Every lame many on a crutch.
They're all talking about a feelin',
'Bout a taste that's in the air,
They're all talking about,
This mighty wind,
That's blowin' every-where.
Chorus 1
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
It's kickin' up the sand,
It's blowin' out a message,
To every woman, child and man.
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
It's blowin' e-quali-ty.
Verse 2
(The Folksmen)
From a lighthouse in Barr Harbor,
To a bridge called Golden Gate,
From a trawler down in Shreveport,
To the shore of one great lake.
There's a star on the hor-izon,
And it's burning like a flame,
It's lighting up this mighty wind,
That's blowin' every-where.
Chorus 2
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
It's kickin' up the sand,
It's blowin' out a message,
To every woman, child and man.
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
It's blowin' e-quali-ty.
Verse 3
(Mitch & Mickey)
When the blind man sees the picture,
When the deaf man hears the word,
When the fisherman stops fishing,
When the hunter spares the herd.
We'll still hear the wondrous story,
Of a world where people care,
The story of this mighty wind,
That's blowin' every-where.
Chorus 3
Oh a mighty winds a blowin',
It's kickin' up the sand,
It's blowin' out a message,
To every woman, child and man.
Yes a mighty winds a blowin',
Cross the land and cross the se-ea,
It's blowin' peace and free-dom,
It's blowin' you and me.
