Nina Simone - Westwind lyrics

"Hello, oh yeah, I'm glad to see you
Glad to see you they tell me
It's a full house it's full
This is a good time to introduce you
To the heart beat of our organization
The pulse of everything that we
Do: it centers around
The drums and of course if you
Think about that really seriously you
Know that your entire life is
Centered around your heart beat
And that's rhythm is it not'
This song was ' eh 'I was told to sing
By Miriam Makeba and she is my dear friend
And it is a prayer those of you who
Are fans of hers will remember this song"

Westwind blow ye gentle
Over the shores of yesterday
My sun is brown and over
Here within my heart they lay they lay

Westwind with your wisdom
Gather all the young for me
Black cloud hanging over
Nest your bosom strong and free

Got each gallon water is plane
Got each gallon water is plane
Cos I am the soil from which they came
I am the soil from which they came

So Westwind with your splendor
Take my people by the hand
Spread your glory sunshine off
And unify my promised land

Unify us don't divide us unify
Us don't divide us
Unify us don't divide us unify
Us don't divide us
Unify us don't divide us unify
Us don't divide us unify us don't divide us

Westwind with your splendor
Take my people by the hand
Spread your glory sunshine out
And unify my promised land
Unify my promised land
Unify my promised land
