The Wind Gusts
Please
 speak louder
 I can’t hear you
 over this wind
 You’re too soft
 much too soft
 not nearly loud enough
 to be heard over this wind
 It’s a soft shock
 when you touch my arm
 I’m stung for a second
 what is this?
 You open your mouth again
 trying to explain
 I still can’t hear you…
 
 You looked to the sky
 think about jumping in
 why don’t you
 what’s wrong?
 It’s easy
 follow me
 I’ll teach you to fly
 I’ll show you how to be 
 A part of the wind
 
 Shout
 It won’t make a difference
 if you don’t try
 you won’t be heard
 Pout
 it still isn’t the same
 you just have to try
 just try
 It’ll sweep you out
 right off your feet
 just jump
 and believe
 Jump!
 
 Please
 speak louder
 I can’t hear you
 over this wind
 You’re too soft
 much too soft
 not nearly loud enough
 to be heard over this wind
 Shout
 I still can’t hear you
 don’t get mad
 this wind carries your voice
 Come here
 closer still
 now isn’t that better?
 I can hear you now
