Whistles the wind, blowing my way
Sweeping me back, back here to stay
Can winners be losers, running on the same track?
While some head for glory, others we crash

Well, it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong

My isolation, now there's a sobering thought
A minute alone, a lifetime too long
See the face in this mirror, so pale it could crack
Desperately wanting the color it lacks

Well, it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong

So you drank with the lost souls for too many years
Tied to their ankles, now crippled with fear
Never been righteous though seldom were wrong
Life's only life with you in this song

Now there's an ocean between
Where I am and where I want to be
So you prayers in doubt
Doubt not for me
Well, it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong

Well, it breaks my heart to see you this way
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay
Somehow I guess they were wrong

Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind
Whistles the wind

Though you'll find your way out, but there's no going now
Every woman and child drags you down for the dive
It's not safe being free, can't give back what you feel
He said you'll always be in heaven with me
