Reviving Wind

        Yiza inkululeko

        Heat of the night all around
        We're oppressed, spirits are dying
        So we lie motionless on the ground
        And we pray with the dawning of day
        A breeze will come

        It's a reviving wind
        Mightily blowing
        Come on, let the new begin
        Let us move along with the wind

        Winter is long, hard and cold
        But beneath, under the surface
        There is life waiting that will unfold
        With the wonderful warmth of the wind
        In early spring

        It's a reviving wind
        Mightily blowing
        Come on, let the new begin
        Since the wind is strong, let us move along
        With the reviving wind
        Mightily blowing
        Come on, let the new begin
        Let us move along with the wind

        We need you, Holy Spirit, come make us new
        For everything depends on you

        The world is so big, we are small
        Like a bird over the ocean
        But it soars, never about to fall
        'Cause it's carried aloft on the strong
        And mighty wind

        It's a reviving wind
        Mightily blowing
        Come on, let the new begin
        Since the wind is strong, let us move along
        With the reviving wind
        Mightily blowing
        Come on, let the new begin
        Let us move along with the wind
