Lyrics:
I am a child of the wind, even daddy said so We used to race and I would always win And he said "Run baby run, run like the wind, that's it, the wind" Memory is a most unusual thing, Sunday Well bookie dear, at the close of this first Sunday of a brand new year I find myself seeking thee It’s such a comfort in the still of the night to have a chat With one so easy to chat with I remember the loud sounds The shouting, the many voices of men All pitches, low to high, high to low, and grumbled As if it was yesterday I am a child of the wind, even daddy said so We used to race and I would always win Then he say "Run baby run, run like the wind, that's it, the wind" Memory is a most unusual thing, Monday We had just gone to church that day, mama so loved that church Though she found the pastor sometimes tired But she went and praised in peace for all God's children We always have to sit in the very back, dressed in our very best It seemed wrong, but was presented as right Daddy used to say "We’re only always playing pretend Just to get through the sadness of lives" I'm pressing on the upward wave New heights I'm gaining every day Still praying as I'm onward bound Lord let my feet on higher ground I cut to the close of this day tired And ready to lay me down to sleep, yet I find it hard to go to sleep I thank God for keeping me from violence I am a child of the wind, even daddy said so We used to race and I would always win And he'd say "Run baby run, run like the wind, that's it, the wind" Memory is the most unusual thing
