I knew a man, who with slight of hand

Could turn the sand, into water

He’d lead with his chin, but his smiling grin

Would save his skin, from the slaughter

He was a hustling man, took what he can

But his selfish plan, finally nabbed him

Now he’s drifting with the wind

Lord knows how he sinned

He’s just drifting with the wind, with the wind

He’d enter a room, like King Neptune

Watch the ladies bloom, like some flower

His words were a sword, he wouldn’t be ignored

He cut and gored, with their power

Thought his laugh was the last, at history and the past

But the dye he cast, did prove fatal

Now he’s drifting with the wind

Lord knows how he sinned

He’s just drifting with the wind, with the wind

I’ve heard stories told, about the brave and bold

From times of old, through the ages

They’d hold off the dark, to leave their mark

Convinced their bark, made them sages

They failed to realize, they wore a fool’s disguise

Couldn’t compromise, with life’s changes

Now they’re drifting with the wind

Lord knows how they’ve sinned

They’re just drifting with the wind, with the wind
