Desert Angel

I was born in the desert
So I know how it feels there
Well look up it's a shooting star
But it's as black as night, no stars

Well this is the first thing that I've written
Since I wrote about freedom
And then the wall came down
We thought it was a great beginning
People were free to cross the line

But then something happened in the desert
Something broke the stars into pieces

Well, I live below a great red mountain
In the shape of a great huge beast
In a place the Indians call Paradise Valley
Well, well this has always been my sanctuary
I send that to you too, you're on the other side of the world

In the desert and we are the guardians
No black clouds, just the faces of you

So where is my father, where has he gone?
And where is my husband and where is my son?
Where is my father? Where has he gone?
What is it that happened here?
Is this real, this war? This can't be happening

Well I need to see you in your far away war
And you should know how much we love you
When they call us here, Operation Desert Angel
They call us here, Operation Desert Angel

In waiting
Operation Desert Shield
Operation Desert Storm
Operation Desert Angel
We're angels in waiting
Just the faces of you
Operation Desert Angel
