Lyrics

They’re All Calling Out My Name: The Wind’s Story by Mary Rocap

They’re all calling out my name
Through the ashes, soot, and flame
Through the ashes, soot and flame
Oh Lord.
I hear them calling out to me
Through the smoke and sweat and heat
Through the smoke and sweat and heat
Oh Lord.

Critters on the run
Each and every one
Drumming fee-fi-fo-fe-fi-fum
Sparrows got the news
Flying two by two
It’s spreading fast – do what you can do

Vultures come to see
Wheeling three by three
Wheeling safe and free above the trees
Coyote pack of four
Howling woe for sure
Charge conspirator, four by four

And how did it begin?
Did the spark call the wind?
And was the wind ashamed
When the spark burst into flame?

I hear them calling out to me
Through the smoke and sweat and heat
Through the haze of memory
Oh Lord.
And it has never been the same
As if I was the one to blame
What if I was the one to blame?
Oh Lord.
