Last Charge of the Light Horse - In the Wind Lyrics

Don't you believe what your weary body says
About a deep slumber in a warm bed
Don't listen when your own worried mind
Says you've had enough of the hard times

You were born to face the wind
Sky threatening to rain any minute and
Your hair lashing around your head like
Flames writing unspeakable language

Pay no attention when the scrape and strife
Conjure visions of a soft life
Though your muscles burn and your limbs quake
Fingers slipping from the rock face

You were born to the teeth of the gale
The wind singing that minor scale
But you live when the heavens rail
A flame writing its beautiful language

Don't follow when your hollowed-out heart
Wants to skip ahead to the easy part
Where frictionless days glide past
Every burden made light at last

You were born to face the wind
Sky threatening to rain any minute and
Your hair blowing around your head like
Flames writing unspeakable language

You were born to the teeth of the gale
The wind singing that minor scale
But you live when the heavens rail
A flame writing its beautiful language
