Walk softly through the    desert sands    Careful where you tread    Underfoot are the visions lost    Sleeping not yet dead       Hang on - Winds starting to howl    Hang on - The beast is on the prowl    Hang on - Can you hear the    strange cry    Winds of change are blowing by       Mountains crumble and cities fall    Don't come to an end    Just lie scattered on the    desert floor    Waiting for the wind       Chorus       You got your life planned carefully    But you left out one detail    The hidden hand deals just one round    And the winds of change prevail       Chorus       Walk softly through the desert sand    Old dreams lead the way    Nothing new in the sands of time    Just changes every day       Hang on - It's starting again    Hang on - There's no shelter from    the wind    Hang on - Like a fire from the sky    Winds of change are blowing by
