“The Weathervane’s Tale”
By Bob Ogier
From The Allegory Song Bible – Collector’s Edition

Perched high on the rooftops of life, the weathervane spent years spinning with every change in the wind — believing each direction held the answer. But the turning never brought peace. Only when he learned to be still did he discover his own True North.

This gentle folk ballad explores the journey from people-pleasing and uncertainty to inner peace and self-trust. A reminder that storms don’t break us — they teach us how to stand.

“The storm never came to break you — only to show you what could bend.”

🌬️ Song Description
For your YouTube description or Page 2 of the Song Bible
“The Weathervane’s Tale” is a gentle, reflective folk ballad about the journey from uncertainty to inner stillness.Perched high on the rooftop of life, a weathervane spends years spinning wildly with every changing breeze — believing the wind itself would tell him who to be. But through weathered seasons, rust, and storms, he learns his greatest truth: meaning doesn’t come from following every shift around us… it comes from finding a steady compass within.
It’s a song for anyone who’s felt pulled in every direction by life, opinions, expectations, or change — a reminder that peace is not found in movement, but in grounding.
“The wind may change, but my heart’s true north endures.”

🪶 Song Commentary
For your book’s Commentary page
This song speaks to the emotional exhaustion of living reactively. For so long, the weathervane believed he had to turn with every breeze — that his identity was defined by whichever way the world was blowing. That’s the experience of people-pleasing, self-doubt, or searching for validation everywhere except inside.
The turning point of the song isn’t dramatic — it’s quiet. The weathervane chooses stillness. He doesn’t fight the wind, nor obey it — he simply lets it be. And in doing so, he discovers his own North.
Rust and weathering become gifts, not flaws. They show a life lived, storms survived, lessons earned. The song’s final truth is that the winds of life don’t need to stop for us to find peace — we find peace by stopping the spin.
It’s a gentle lesson in self-trust:we are allowed to stop turning for everyone else, and finally face the direction that feels true.
