The Wind
Carey Mariah Lyrics

The wind has taken you
You have passed away and your spirit has been carried away by the wind.

You're free finally at peace
In death, you have found freedom and peace from your sufferings.

So still you lie
Your body is lying motionless, lifeless and at peace in death.

Leaving your cares behind
In death, you have left behind all your physical and emotional pain and troubles.

The pain is gone
All the physical and emotional pain that you once felt in life is now gone with your passing.

Gone with the spirit in your eyes
As your spirit left your body, the pain also left with it, and your eyes no longer reflect the struggles of life.

Now you're wandering around
Your spirit is aimlessly roaming around free from the physical body, and exploring the realm beyond life.

Above us
Your spirit is looking down upon us from above.

Looking downward as we cry
As we mourn your passing, your spirit is watching us, and you know how much we love and miss you.

You've flown into the wind
Your spirit has left us to join the wind, an unknown and mysterious force of nature.

Escaping all the hurt within
In death, you have escaped all the emotional and physical pain you once carried within yourself.

Took to the sky
Your spirit has left the earth and taken to the skies, exploring the unknown realms of the universe.

Leaving all the world behind
As your spirit departs, it is leaving behind the material world and all its attachments and possessions.

So young to die
It's sad that you had to leave us so soon when you had your whole life ahead of you.

How could you let it all pass you by?
We're left wondering why you didn't make the most of your life and seize every opportunity.

And do the wind go so many dreams
The wind carries with it numerous dreams and aspirations that once lived within you.

That you held inside
All the dreams and aspirations that you never got to fulfill or share with us.

Now you're just a memory
After your passing, you exist only in our memories from when you were alive and with us.

Burning in my mind, my mind
The memories of you that we hold onto are so strong and vivid that they feel as though they are burning into our minds.

And now you'll never know I loved you
We wish that you knew how much we loved you before your passing, but now it's too late.

And now you'll never know I cared
It's heartbreaking that you'll never get to know how much we cared for you, missed you, or how much you meant to us.

I really loved you
We loved you deeply and hope that you knew it, even if we didn't have the chance to say it in time.

You'll only fade
As time goes on, your memory will only fade, and we'll be left with just the thought of what could have been.

Into the wind
Like you, one day we'll all be carried away by the wind, leaving behind the ones we love and the life we knew.
