“Gone with the Wind ” by Medlye is a testimony of how the love of Jesus Christ can clean deep wounds.
Be it mental, emotional, generational, physical and spiritual.
And how He can wait for you till you meet freedom and embrace eternal sanity.
The piece is basically directed at the younger folks who are going through mental challenges that have kept them in drugs and social vices.
Yes, no one may understand what you are really going through. But know when the love of Jesus Christ comes into that challenge, You won’t know when the storm will seize. GONE WITH THE WIND.

LYRICS
INTRO
It’s been a long time coming, so long
It’s been a long time coming
Uhhhhh
Nobody knows how the story goes.
VERSE 1:
We all gon’ die some day
My mind spoke.
Hey it’s too late to win,
Stay right there.
You’re 20 it’s good enough,
Let go dear.
What the hell are you hoping for,
No one hears.
ohhh
Shut the scream hold the string,
Put it in.
Let the drugs do it’s thing,
Breath it in.
Countless times it whispers again and again.
You won’t understand.
CHORUS:
It’s been a long time coming
so long so long
It’s been a long time coming
Nobody knows how the story goes.
VERSE 2:
It was cold that lonely day,
I’d rapped a log of hemp.
Illuminating it shines on me,
The brightest light.
Piercing through my troubled soul,
The swiftest sweep.
ummummm
I know you’ve been through a lot of storms,
But I am here..
uhhhhhh
Make the scream shade the skin, Put me in.
Let my love do it’s thing,
Breath me in.
countless times it whispered again and again.
hmmmmmm
Went with the wind.
Gone with the wind.
All the burdens gone.
Went with the wind..
ehhhh.
VAMP:
(gone with the wind)
Sorrow gone
(gone with the wind)
Addiction gone
(gone with the wind)
Sickness gone
(gone with the wind)
Depression gone
(gone with the wind)
Frustration gone
(gone with the wind)
Sin gone
(gone with the wind)
ehhhhh they’ll gone, gone.
OUTRO:
Oh yes it was a long time coming
It was so long, so long
iI was a long time coming
But Jesus knew, cause now the story’s end
