Wind of Change...
When I go to bed, and close my eyes at night,
Disappointment strikes, I'm impaled by hate and fight.

Power of Change I shed off despair, to let my thoughts rearrange,
Wind blows from the east, & brace up for the challenge, to blow the winds of change.
Wind blows from the west, I wake up in the morning, sun is shining bright,

I pledge for love and peace, seek nothing in exchange,
Are the ones which transform a person.
