West Wind (Live at Philharmonic Hall, New York, NY - October 1969)-Nina Simone

"Hello, oh yeah, I'm glad to see you, glad to see you. They tell me it's a full house it's full. This is a good time to introduce you to the heart beat of our organization, the pulse of everything that we do: it centers around the drums and of course if you think about that really seriously you know that your entire life is centered around your heart beat, and that's rhythm is it not' This song was ' eh 'I was told to sing by Miriam Makeba and she is my dear friend, and it is a prayer those of you who are fans of hers will remember this song." Westwind blow ye gentle For the souls of yesterday My sons, proud and noble Here within my heart they lay they lay Westwind with your wisdom Gather all the young for me Black cloud hanging over Nest your bosom strong and free Guard each gallant warrior's claim Guard each gallant warrior's claim 'Cause I am the soil from which they came I am the soil from which they came So Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory, sunshine And unify my promised land Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us unify us don't divide us Unify us don't divide us Westwind with your splendor Take my people by the hand Spread your glory, sunshine And unify my promised land Unify my promised land Unify my promised land
