Story Behind The Song

Ecclesiastes 11:9 & 10

Lyrics

Trample in the dirt
Take advantage of and hurt
Come on, quench your fire
Satisfy your desire
Like a gentle breeze
Calm, so much at ease
Just a breath of air
Use it up if you dare
But note that in its wake
There's a storm to seal your fate

Though the wind's a friend on a hot summer day
It can lend power to a hurricane
And where's your gain?
Though the wind's a breeze
Refreshes and can give you ease
A cold blast you freeze

Taking candy from a child
Has never been so mild
The warmth of an embrace
Tingles your taste
Fill up the measure to an extreme of pleasure
If you tire, if it gets hard
It's simple to discard
But note that in its wake
Your very life's at stake

So be careful what you do
You can have your fun
But it will get you in the long run
