Standard (EADGBE)

Walk softly through the desert sand

Careful where you tread

Underfoot are the visions lost

Sleeping not yet dead

(Chorus 1)

 (Hang on) Winds starting to howl

 (Hang on) The beast is on the prowl

 (Hang on) Can you hear the strange cry

 Winds of change are blowing by

 Mountains crumble and cities fall

Don't come to an end

 Lie scattered on the desert floor

 Waiting for the wind

(Chorus 1)

 Walk softly through the desert sand

Old dreams lead the way

Nothing new in the sands of time

 Just changes every day

(Chorus 2)

 (Hang on) It's starting again

 (Hang on) There's no shelter from the wind

 (Hang on) Like a fire from the sky

 Winds of change are blowing by

 You got your life planned carefully

 But you left out one detail

 The hidden hand deals just one round

 And the winds of change prevail

(Chorus 1)

(Interlude)

Walk softly through the desert sand

Careful where you tread

Underfoot are the visions lost

 Sleeping not yet dead

(Chorus 1)

(Outro)
