The Gift
(Fairley/Lonetree)
(C) Medicine Road Music

"And God took a handful of Southerly Wind
Blew his breath upon it and created the horse"
- Bedouin Legend

God took a handful of Southerly Wind
So it's told, so it's told
Blew breath upon it and cried, "Behold!
I give you the horse, I give you the horse"

And horse is wind and wind must blow
I give you the horse just so you'll know...
Flight

And so we called him Viento
Viento, Viento
I said "He's fine," she said "I know!
"Andalusean, white as snow

"I watched the fire inside him grow
I felt the rising wild wind blow"

Andalusian white as snow
This horse is wind and now we know...
(The art of) flight

Chorus
Feel the free air. Feel the wild wind blow!

God took a handful of southerly wind
So it's told, so it's told
Blew breath upon it and cried, "Behold!
I give you the horse, I give you the horse"

And horse is wind and wind must blow
I give you the horse just so you'll know...
Flight

Chorus
Feel the free air. Feel the wild wind blow...
