There are some who can still remember 
All the things that we used to do 
But the days of our youth were numbered 
And the ones who survive it are few 
Oh, I can still see the smiling faces 
When the times were so good 
All in the old familiar places 
I'd go back if I could (to the) 
 
People of the south wind, people of the southern wind 
It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again 
 
Well, it's a hard thing to face the music: 
But it's something everybody has got to do 
So I hope that I can always remember 
All the crazy times we had to go through 
Now it's a dream that is slowly fading 
And I don't want it to go 
All of the memories are evading 
And I want you to know (it's the) 
 
People of the south wind, people of the southern wind 
It's the people of the wind, I got to be there again 
 
Now we've traveled all across the oceans 
And we've seen what there is to see 
But I guess it's not the proper solution 
Cause it's all about the same to me 
Now I look back and it makes me wonder 
Why we just couldn't see 
All of the battles we fought and won there 
And I wish that I could be with the 
 
People of the wind 
I want to see 'em again 
It's where we used to be free 
And that's the place for me 
It's just a state of my mind 
thing that's so hard to find
