[SH] Some people like the thunder.
Some like the rain and snow.
But I love the wind, the mighty wind,
Whenever it does blow.
It whistles through the canyons.
It knocks me off my feet.
But I love the wind, the mighty wind,
And I think wind is neat.
I love the wind. It whips me all the day.
It even comes by evening, and blows my things away.
(That’s not its strong point.)
I love it when it’s blowing.
I love to hear the roar.
Yes, I love the wind, the mighty wind,
But I’ll say one thing more:
I hope someday, someone will tell me
What the wind is for.
