i remember being just another confused youth
then i heard your words of wisdom heard your words of truth
you took me to your breast & treated me as one
i had found my sanctuary & our fight had just begun
so many years later & life was ebbed away
but when i hear the wind i hear your voice say
i am the teardrop in the newborn babys eye
i am the blooddrop of the last patriot to die
i am the strength in every young warriors heart
for every flame that burns i am the vital spark
i remember the passion & the fire in your eyes
i pledge to do my best to make sure the dream never dies
you inspired a generation instilled a sense of pride
taught us all to face our fears & never to hide
so many years later & your life has ebbed away
but when i hear the wind i hear your voice say
chorus
i remember the power when skrewdriver hit the stage
spewing words of venom this was the white man in a rage
but every word spoken was the undeniable truth
if we were gonna pull it off this was the living proof
so many years later & your life has ebbed away
but when i hear the wind i hear your voice say
chorus
