Whispering Wind
Song of Chief Joseph
from the lonely valleys
far below,
the rustling leaves of
aspens call
my troubled soul
from deep within
to live again
to love again
beside Blue River’s
raging flow
‘neath mountain skies
and whispering winds
come gentle clouds and
summer snow
and memories of
long ago
the lifting wind
the searching wind
the whispering wind
that calls my name
still you now
my fractured heart
hide in me and
bring me peace
let haunted dreams
i once held dear
lift me now and
hold me near
and take my mind to
heights unknown
the lifting wind
the numbing wind
the whispering wind
becomes my own
tho i be lost
and all alone
and free of all
that i have known
with all my hope
now turned to stone
i close my eyes and
And I am home
