Verse:
C
i was born at the ends of the earth
          Cadd9
where the wind sang us songs and we sang them back
   Csus4
we know how to keep our footing
         F
it’s our job to keep our footing
         C                                                     Cadd9
when the wind is your teacher, your father’s its voice, you’ve got big shoes to
fill
        Csus4
and we know how to keep our footing
G
but i’ve got two left feet

Chorus:
    F
but i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning
    C                      Cadd9
to step a little lighter and talk a little quieter
    Csus4
sometimes i mumble, sometimes i overstep
    G
sometimes i wish my mother hadn’t left, but that’s life i guess

Verse:
C
i have a family who moves like the wind does
     Cadd9
they laugh when i laugh, and i laugh when they don’t
     Csus4
they know how to catch my footing
F
 and nudge me into place
      C
but sometimes i feel there’s a burning within me
    Cadd9
sometimes i want to scream
         Csus4
and they know how to catch my footing
G
 but i can walk just fine

Chorus:
       F
and i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning
     C                             Cadd9
that burning needs earth, wind, and water to balance
  Csus4
sometimes i’m angry, sometimes i get sad
  G                                                C
but when our directions go bad, i can be our compass

Verse:
C
i have a partner who said that he loves me
   Cadd9
it took me some time, but i said it back
     Csus4
we can watch each other’s footing
F
 i love to watch his footing
      C
his wings and his wonder make him one with the elements
    Cadd9
his words and his laugh fill my heart like the wind does
Csus4
 the wind lives forever
G
 i thought we had more time

Bridge:
  Am
i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning, i’m learning
     Em
that passing through fire can help things grow again
 F
sometimes it’s hard, and sometimes i don’t want to
   Am
but sometimes i hear the wind speak, i was born to
 F                                                C                 G
pick up the mantle and speak for the storm and my people and family and home

Verse:
C
now i’m back where the wind sings me songs
        Cadd9
my family’s all safe, but i’ll see them gone
   Csus4
i know how to keep my footing
     F
it’s my job to keep my footing
     C
and now i can speak at a pace that is fitting
Cadd9
step with the confidence wisdom has given
Csus4
 i can keep my footing
G
 and give it to the wind
