Lyrics
I had the pleasure of recording this song
The saxofon is from...
A group called The Crusaders, do you remember them?
This gentleman's name was Wilton Felder
He said "You think you can keep your head
But all around you they're losing theirs
You can and you will"
Inherit the wind, my brother on the sax, prepare for me Fernando
You play so good
Cool, no, they like it, they love you, take a bow
I'm serious about that
Oh, yeah
I'll tell you what, we got real nice crowd
And they're in a real good mood
Imma let you sing, okay?
This is your shot, but you can't mess up Fernando
This is very important, I take my music very seriously, you know that
You know I overheard a conversation
We're riding down the highway on the bus and my brother was telling someone in the band
He didn't see, he thought I was asleep
Said "My brother never lets me sing, I thinks he's scared to let me sing
I mean I blow a horn, I do a whole lot of things, I'm good at a lot of things, but..."
Yeah, they were talking a lot of BS
Would you like to hear him?
Shhh... you don't have to do this, if you're nervous you don't have to do it
Okay now, we'll see...
Okay, enough is enough
Enough is enough, here take this microphone
You gotta be cool now
See, one thing about you, you get really excited
See, the slower you do it, the longer it's gonna last
But sometimes that feel is so... no, no good
You start to moving too fast and before you know it it's over, see?
Just be real cool, you know? Ain't no big thing, okay?
Cause I can see the excitement and the perspiration on your forehead
I mean you want to get down quick
Take your time, is it alright to see, then, okay
Woah, time keeps coming and dreams just fade away
But the wind still remains
To takes us to a brighter day
Can you feel, can you feel it growing?
Talking 'bout the storm inside of you
Inherit the wind
Oh, you wanna try, my friend, my friend
You know what? See, I know
You think you don't need a song
I'm not ready to leave yet
I got a whole lotta time in my hands
Feel like I wanna party now
Did you come to party now?
That's good, Fernando
You don't need all of that to hold up your pants
You got the suspender and a belt
Damn!
Ladies and gentlemen we have a new member
Of Bobby Womack and company
Now we'd like to introduce him
I don't want to put you on the spot but you know I do eveything spontaneous, okay?
Ricky, Ricky Howe, come on now
Y'know, I always tell you, you got a whole mic
Are you all still out there?
Now you might think I'm circling the jazz, but yo know I love to put people on the spot
I say the word is pay attention
We'll see if Ricky's paying attention tonight
Time keeps coming
Oh, the dreams they fade away
But the wind still remains
To take us to a brighter day
You can feel, don't ya feel it coming?
Talking 'bout the storm inside of you
Inherit the wind
You wanna try, my friend
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Inherit the wind
Yeah, yeah
Enough is enough!
Stop, stop
Ricky Howe
Inherit the wind
You wanna try, my friend, tonight
Let it all out, baby
Inherit the wind
