Gust of Wind
Pharrell Williams Lyrics

My heart is filled, with love and care
I am filled with a deep sense of love and care.

Not an ounce of gas, I would get up there
I don't need any external force to lift me up.

The answer's simple
This is easy to understand.

You lift me up
You are my source of strength and inspiration.

The view up here, I see all the stars
I have a clear perspective and can see the beauty in everything.

There go Venus, and there go Mars
I can appreciate the wonders of the universe.

Somethin' you been through
You've had experiences that have shaped you.

You're from above, hey
You have a higher purpose or calling.

Hey, when I first saw you, I got excited
I felt overwhelming excitement when I first saw you.

Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
I tried to control my emotions and not let them show.

But I didn't know
I wasn't aware of something important.

I didn't let go
I held onto something too tightly.

Then it occurred to me while tryna fight it
I realized while resisting something.

Just like a kite, you learn to ride it
Like flying a kite, you need to let go and feel the flow.

But I didn't know
I didn't understand this before.

You're s'posed to let it go
You need to release control and let things happen naturally.

Like a gust of wind
You affect me like an unexpected burst of energy.

You hit me off sometimes
You surprise me or bring me out of a negative mood.

You push me back every once in a while
You challenge me or make me reconsider my actions.

You remind me there's someone up there
You make me think about a higher power or purpose.

Who ushers in
Who brings in or sets the tone.

The air I need to power my sail
You give me the energy and motivation I need to achieve my goals.

When I open the window
When I'm open to new experiences or perspectives.

I wanna hug you
I feel a sense of comfort or connection with you.

'Cause you remind me of the air
You embody the qualities of air, such as freedom and inspiration.

I said yeah
I acknowledge the truth of what I'm saying.

'Cause when I'm feelin' real low
When I'm feeling down or powerless.

I remember I love you
I remember my feelings of love, which give me strength.

I put my hands in the air
I express my gratitude and surrender control.

And you were there
You are always a source of comfort and inspiration.

With your love, I can board the skies
Your love gives me the ability to soar to great heights.

Riding away that electrified mothership other
Escaping from something that is holding me back.

Can I stowaway? (Can I stow away girl, girl?)
Can I join you on this journey?

Colourful winds of the northern sky
The beauty and wonder of the natural world.

Is the closest thing, and here is why
It is the purest form of inspiration for me.

'Cause we're color
We are diverse and unique, like the many colors of the sky.

You blow me away (blow me away girl, girl)
You amaze and inspire me.

I need it like I breathe it
I need inspiration and creativity as much as I need air.

Music and colors can make one hover
The power of art to transport and elevate us.

Who cares if they don't see you?
It doesn't matter if others don't understand your vision or purpose.

Don't you know that they're the same?
We are all connected and share a common humanity.

If you never discover, forever you'll suffer
If you don't pursue your passions, you will always feel unfulfilled.

You gotta tap in and learn the way
You need to connect with your inner self and follow your instincts.

When I first saw you, I got excited
I felt overwhelming excitement when I first saw you.

Tried to keep my composure, tryna hide it
I tried to control my emotions and not let them show.

But I didn't know
I wasn't aware of something important.

I didn't let go
I held onto something too tightly.

Then I realized I'm tryna fight it
I realized I was resisting something.

Just so they can learn to ride it
So they can experience the same feeling of freedom and inspiration.

But I didn't know
I didn't understand this before.

I had to let it go
I needed to release control and let things happen naturally.
