From the recording Drifting
Using Biblical allegories the singer moves from the wisdom that waiting for the right time is an excuse that will not yield a harvest whether at the time of sowing or reaping. Rather, the people of God should use every opportunity to sow and reap even if conditions seem wrong. The people of God are like the wind, you do not know where they come from or where they are going, since they are led by the Spirit of God. Unlike the unrighteous, the people of God will not sow wind or reap whirlwind, although they themselves are scattered like winds.
Hosea 8:7, John 4:38, Matthew 25:26-28, John 3:8, Isaiah 6:13, Mark 4:26, Ecclesiastes 11:4

Lyrics
[Chorus]
He who observes the wind
Will not sow.
He who regards the clouds
Will not reap.
Throw the excuses away!
Be like one scattered by winds
And be led by the Spirit-wind.
[Verse]
Sowing and reaping are not
Determined by outward signs.
What we see shall not direct
The actions we do.
[Break]
The inner man is moved.
Only spirit eyes see.
[Chorus]
He who observes the wind
Will not sow.
He who regards the clouds
Will not reap.
Throw the excuses away!
Be like one scattered by winds-
And be led by the Spirit-wind.
[Verse]
It may seem like wind
Isn't blowing.
It may seem like rains
Aren't coming.
But for us, we will cast,
Our bread, upon the waters,
For a harvest.
[Chorus]
He who observes the wind
Will not sow.
He who regards the clouds
Will not reap.
Throw the excuses away!
Be like one scattered by winds-
And be led by the Spirit-wind.
[Bridge]
Cast seed, whether wind blows, or not.
Look for harvest, whether dry cloud, or torrent.
Cast seed, in morning and evening.
Some trampled, some rocky
Some thorns, some good
Look for fields white.
God will cause the growth.
The Holy seed will remain.
[Chorus]
He who observes the wind
Will not sow.
He who regards the clouds
Will not reap.
Throw the excuses away!
Be like one scattered by winds-
And be led by the Spirit-wind.
[Outro]
The wealth of the wicked,
Stored for the righteous,
Who reap what they did not sow.
Still, we sow.
But we'll not sow the wind,
Nor reap the whirlwind.
We sow by the Spirit-wind of God.
We are led by the spirit of God
