The new wind threatens
the structure of what has been
the wisdom of tradition
all our rigid, reverent ease
How can I hold?
Oh, how can I hold when
the freedom from control can expand
chance for wild reaction
naked in the savage ocean
Where did we go?
The new wind could mix
flowing wisdom with this
safe and steady freedom
Preserve what's passed to
help the future last in
any way they see fit
However we hold!

Oh, how can I hold when

Where did we go?
The new wind could mix
flowing wisdom with this
safe and steady freedom
Preserve what's passed to
help the future last in
any way they see fit
However we hold!
