And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect strangers Can you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life

I will not be swept aside Now pride is our enemy For salvation this we must believe Wallow in darkness And ever lasting pain This signal's defiance To bring forth mankind's gain This nation's compliance To what is fed to them

The answers that I've found Are all the same They uncover questions That still remain What is certain I have ignored And what I know is simple I must be reborn I have spent most of my life Trying to complicate everything that I believe

And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand we must remain Perfect strangers Can you remember, remember my name? As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past
