Nina Simone - Forever Young, Gifted & Black: Songs of Freedom and Spirit

Westwind (Live)

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
Unify my promised land
Unify my promised land
Unify my promised land
