[Verse 1]
Walk softly through the desert sand
Careful where you tread
Underfoot are the visions lost
Sleeping not yet dead

[Chorus]
(Hang on) Winds starting to howl
(Hang on) The beast is on the prowl
(Hang on) Can you hear the strange cry?
Winds of change are blowing by

[Verse 2]
Mountains crumble, and cities fall
Don't come to an end
Lie scattered on the desert floor
Waiting for the wind

[Chorus]
(Hang on) Winds starting to howl
(Hang on) The beast is on the prowl
(Hang on) Can you hear the strange cry?
Winds of change are blowing by

[Verse 3]
You got your life planned carefully
But you left out one detail
The hidden hand deals just one round
And the winds of change prevail
[Chorus]
(Hang on) Winds starting to howl
(Hang on) The beast is on the prowl
(Hang on) Can you hear the strange cry?
Winds of change are blowing by

[Verse 4]
Walk softly through the desert sand
Old dreams lead the way
Nothing new in the sands of time
Just changes every day

[Chorus]
(Hang on) It's starting again
(Hang on) There's no shelter from the wind
(Hang on) Like a fire from the sky
Winds of change are blowing by

[Outro]
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
(Hang on)
