This song did not start out to be what it ended up being but I am always influenced by what news cycle I’m consuming at the time. Thanks to AntSurvila and Sparky for their musical gifts which allowed me to convey this message to whomever needs to hear it.

Trade Winds

It’s coming fast
Gotta move out the way
Not sure the direction
Close Escape

Family secure
Trying to move on
Pcking up the pieces
Of my destroyed home

God grant me the focus
To start again
God please help me
To believe again

I grow tired
And the journey is long
And they’re counting on me
To be strong

They’re counting on me
To be strong

They’re counting on me
They’re counting on me

Trade Winds Still Blow
Trade Winds Still Blow

So much destruction
Got to restore my state
No time to mourn
No time to delay

Everyone’s consumed
With the questions why
When the bottom line is
The preservation of life

This is real
No political hoax
Lives are being lost at a cost
Of a governmental joke

This is not funny
Let’s stop the blame
The cost of doing nothing
Is everyone’s shame

The cost of doing nothing
Is everyone’s shame

Everyone’s shame

Trade Winds Still Blow
Trade Winds Still Blow

Trade Winds Still Blow
Trade Winds Still Blow

Trade Winds Still Blow
Trade Winds Still Blow
