IN TO THE DESERT

IN TO THE DESERT


WE WENT INTO THE DESERT
WE HAD VISIONS
WE CAME BACK SINGING

WE WENT OINTO THE DESERT
WITH BURNING FEET
WE CAME BACK DANCING

THEY SAID WE WERE FOOLS OF A MAD KING
WE AGREE
WE OFTEN LABOR WITH HIS TEACHING

BUT FOR A MOMENT
WE FELT THE SUN UPON OUR BACK
HEARD TRUTH IN OUR LAUGHTER
SAW THE DESERT BLOOMED FOR AN INSTANT
