Fair Wind, by Doona Williams
Fair wind, Fairtrade,
And bring us your riches
of bush and bee.
Your packets of coffee, cocoa, tea
Are the shades of the world’s earth
And each one worth
Food for a farmer’s family,
Strength for a grower’s spirit.
Fair wind, Fairtrade,
May your cargoes of cotton
Be the chosen ones
That educate your children.
Long may your bananas
Bring us the sun
In the hosannas
Of a million smiles.
