Story Behind The Song
This song was written for 2020 a year where it has been hard to get together, but we can still connect through stories and remembering our "days of old".
Song Description
The verses include images that are to remind us to keep up our hope "In the dirt between the rocks, there's gold to find". And if we wait out the rough times things always get better. "The leaves will drift along,they'll roll on by, if you give it a bit of time" reminds us to keep our hopes up, the bad times will pass. But we don't want to forget our stories and our challenges; those are the stories we tend to share.

Lyrics
Wild Winds (title)
(Verse 1)
Could be a million
reasons why
The atmosphere's a bit
rough and unkind
But now I'm noticing extraordinary things
Swept up by wild winds
(Pre-chorus)
Find connection in a story you brought down along the way
Share direction in the whisperings
of love and challenged faith
(Chorus)
Winter has its days of warmth and cold
Room here for the timid and the bold
Every set of fire eyes shows memories on rewind
And promises never left behind
(Verse 2)
In the dirt between the rocks
there's gold to find
All the leaves will drift along, They'll roll on by,
Yeah they will, if you give it a
bit of time
But don't forget your spent fortunes and lost dreams
Swept up by wild winds
(Pre-chorus)
Find connection in a story you brought down along the way
Share direction in the whisperings of love and challenged faith
(Chorus)
Winter has its days of warmth and cold
Room here for the timid and the bold
Every set of fire eyes shows memories on rewind
And promises never left behind
(Outro)
And the distance between us isn't anything
And the distance between us isn't anything
It all disappears with the wild winds
And the distance between us isn't anything
And the distance between us isn't anything
And the distance between us isn't anything
It all disappears with the wild winds
And the distance between us isn't anything
