[Verse] He was kind of like a rockstar Havin' nothing But havin' it all With the strength of a lion But in the face of love He always had to fall There was a woman who was wiser She was there from the start She had the gift of knowing how to love a man She knew how to use her heart [Pre-Chorus] She was his shelter from the rain She was his cure for the pain She was his mother Sister Lover Friend She was the Helper of the Wind [Chorus] And he said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" [Verse 2] So You see He had the wings And she knew how to fly He had the gifts of knowing how to be But he was too proud to try He was an unbroken stallion Who needed a rider of soul But now she has his reigns in her hands And his heart is under her control [Pre-Chorus] She's his shelter from the rain She's his cure for the pain She's his mother Sister Lover Friend She's the Helper of the Wind [Chorus] And he said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" [Bridge] He was running from the thunder Chasing ghosts inside his mind Every shadow growing longer Every clock was out of time Then she whispered through the chaos Like a promise in the night Saying, "You don't have to be a hero Just a man who chooses light" [Verse 3] He was drowning in the silence In the corners of his shame Every victory felt empty Every song called out her name She could see behind his armor Where the broken pieces lay So she held them like a secret And she loved them all the same [Pre-Chorus] She was his shelter from the rain She was his cure for the pain She was his mother Sister Lover Friend She was the Helper of the Wind [Chorus] And he said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" [Interlude 1] (Oh, Linda) Softly calling through the pine (Oh, Linda) Like a river through his mind (Oh, Linda) Every storm comes to an end With the Helper of the Wind [Verse 4] Now the morning finds him steady With her footprints in his soul All the roads that once were empty Lead to love he can't control He was certain he was hopeless Like a ship without the shore Till her laughter drew a harbor He won't run from anymore [Pre-Chorus] She's his shelter from the rain She's his cure for the pain She's his mother Sister Lover Friend She's the Helper of the Wind [Chorus] And he said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" [Bridge] When the night is falling hard And the doubts come crashing in She will wrap him in her arms Like a wild and gentle wind Every scar he tried to hide She will trace and understand Teaching him that being fragile Is the bravest of a man [Verse 5] There were years of autumn failures Leaves of chances on the ground He had never learned to listen To the softest kind of sound But her patience was an anchor In the raging of his sea Every time he tried to leave her She just loved and set him free [Interlude 2] (Helper of the Wind) Calling from the open skies (Helper of the Wind) Love that never compromises (Helper of the Wind) Breathing life into his bones Turning all his fears to home [Verse 6] Now he walks a little lighter With her shadow by his side Not behind him, not before him But in stride with every stride [Pre-Chorus] She's his shelter from the rain She's his cure for the pain She's his mother Sister Lover Friend She's the Helper of the Wind [Chorus] And he said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" He said "Linda Linda Tanzen" [Outro] In the whisper of the branches In the howl of desert sand In the beating of his heartbeat In the softness of her hand If you hear a distant calling Where the wildest dreams begin Know it's Linda, Linda Tanzen She's the Helper of the Wind
