The winds of change are not the same
The air is still right now
My head and my heart
Are stopped and stuck
I took what I could
But I could not manage to get up
So help me up
So help me up
So help me up
Please help me up
If I am a windmill then I can
Stay steady when the wind is blowing
Whatever comes at me will keep my turbines moving
Let's see if we can look
To the younger selves of our souls
And get what we need to show out
We're in the present and that's what I'm thinking about
I’ll move and turn like a windmill
And I won’t stop until you turn off mechanics and then I’ll power down
Whirls around my world
Where can I keep steady
When my pace is uncounted
Striving for ambition can take a lot
If you surrendered already
The static motion around
Allows me some peace
I’m comfortable in solitude
I’m in the present and that’s what I’m thinking about
I’ll move and turn like a windmill
And I won’t stop until you turn off mechanics and then I’ll power down
My head and my heart
Are stopped and stuck
I took what I could
But I could not manage to get up
And the air remains still
