Out in the desert, a lone bodhi tree
Cryin' for water and more
Tell me your secret, and you will be free
Lay down your weapons of war
Cold is the season, and long is the day
Up to the sky i do pray
Shelter you reason
And here i will stay
And we will be lifted away
For all i gave, i tried in vain
The life you save
The soul regains
For all i crave, outside it rains
Inside the love remains
You are my religion
And you all my trust
Across the sea and the land
Behind the vision
The gold turns to rust
Now won't you give me your hand?
Hurry, my father
Please tell me the score
I see the words on the page
Or would you rather be left on the shore?
I see the coming of age
Out in the skyline
you know you are missed
I'm told that you will descend
Out in the grapevine
You fall into bliss
You know that i will defend.
