(The New Main Street Singers)
As I travel down the back roads, of this home I love so much, every carpenter and cowboy,
Every lame man on a crutch. They’re all talking about a feeling, about a taste that’s in the air,
They’re all talking about this mighty wind that’s blowing everywhere.
(All)
Oh a mighty wind’s a blowin’, it’s kickin’ up the sand, it’s blowin’ out a message
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty wind’s a blowin’, cross the land and ‘cross the sea,
|It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.
(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 horizon, and it’s burning like a flare,
It’s lighting up this mighty wind, that’s blowin’ everywhere.
(All)
Oh a mighty wind’s a blowin’, it’s kickin’ up the sand, it’s blowin’ out a message
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty wind’s a blowin’, cross the land and ‘cross the sea,
|It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.
(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’ everywhere. .
(All)
Oh a mighty wind’s a blowin’, it’s kickin’ up the sand, it’s blowin’ out a message
To every woman, child and man
Yes a mighty wind’s a blowin’, cross the land and ‘cross the sea,
It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.
Yes, it’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ you and me.
