🎸 Waiting for the Wind — Blues & Spire | Alex's Wandering Songs

🎸 Sometimes standing still is a kind of flight — the ones who fly the farthest never rushed the wind. Alex Weathers has been playing guitar on the road for over twenty years — one town, one story, one song at a time. 🪶 Motif: Inspired by the albatross — a bird with an enormous wingspan that cannot fly without the right wind, and so waits motionless at the cliff's edge until the moment comes. A song about patience as its own kind of strength. 🎵 Style: Uplifting Roots Rock · 100 bpm · A major 🎵 Lyrics Standing on the edge with wings spread wide Not a single feather moving, patient at the tide Days go by and still it doesn't leave the ground Waiting for the moment when the right wind comes around We flap our arms too early, chasing every gust Wearing down our spirit just to prove we must Oh, sometimes standing still is a kind of flight Learning how to wait is learning how to rise The ones who fly the farthest never rushed the wind They knew the strongest journeys always start within I've jumped too soon a hundred times before Landing hard on every promise I couldn't ignore But that great bird just watches, easy in its skin Knowing that the wind will come, and knowing when Oh, sometimes standing still is a kind of flight Learning how to wait is learning how to rise The ones who fly the farthest never rushed the wind They knew the strongest journeys always start within Wings still open, waiting on the wind... The flight begins the moment that it does... ⚠️ Original song, written and composed by Alex Weathers.
