From the recording EP "Le Salon Vert" (mp3 version)
“Listen To The Wind” is intended as a source of comfort and strength for anyone who has experienced fear or faced difficult trials in life.
Sometimes, when we feel we can’t keep fighting anymore, the answer may be precisely this: not to struggle harder, but to trust.
And to listen to the inner voice that may have been drowned out for so long by the noise of navigating a crisis. Our intuition knows the way. Its voice lives within us, and sometimes we need to close our eyes and listen to the wind to find it again.

Lyrics
Listen To The Wind
Lyrics written by Mimi Schell
Music written by Mimi Schell, Cris Cassara
Shipwrecked on the open ocean
Floating on the hands on God
You, my love, are far away
Yet never can we be apart
Even now, while I’m afraid to lose it all
Even now, while I’m afraid to lose it all
On my mind your kindest words
Consoling like a quilt of grace
Your strength and your nobility
Will never let me lose my faith
Even now, while I’m afraid to lose it all
I let go of what I can’t control at all
I will listen
Listen to the wind
I will listen
To the voice within
I will make it
Home, safe and sound
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
While I’m drifting on a plank
Over the abyss of fear
Nothing’s gonna bring me down
In the silence I will hear
Set my mind to where reality begins
To the power of the heart and what it brings
I will listen
Listen to the wind
I will listen To the voice within
I will make it
Home, safe and sound
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
(Ooh- listen)
Everything I need to know already lies within me
(Change is nothing I need to fear)
I'm gonna trust my intuition
(Change is nothing I need to fear)
And, yeah, I will know where to follow
I will listen
Listen to the wind
I will listen
To the voice within
I will make it
Home, safe and sound
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
Into your arms
Restored to life and love
