Analysis of The Wind



If I could be anything, I would be the wind.
For the wind has no boundries,
no beginning, no end.
If I could be anything, I would be the wind,
because the wind is free it's never fenced in.
If I could be anything, I would be the wind.
The wind is so peaceful it creeps around ever bend.
If I could be anything, I would be the wind.
For the wind came straight from God,
and fills me up from deep within
