Kansas’s acoustic hit “Dust In The Wind” is a reflective song about the inevitability of mortality and the insignificant role every person plays in the bigger picture. It was written by guitarist Kerry Livgren, who was inspired by a Native American poem containing the line “For all we are is dust in the wind”.
The music came from a picking exercise he was doing that his wife suggested he make a song out of. It was the last addition to the album. “Dust In The Wind” was a top 10 hit in the US and Canada in the spring of 1977 and remains the biggest hit of their career.
Lyrics:
I close my eyes Only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind
Oh Now, don't hang on Nothin' lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind.
