Desert Rising

Desert rising, sand in my face
Gotta leave yet another place
Dust devil coming up my way
Run from the spot where all night I lay
Guess I'll be moving on
Move on, run away

Rattlesnake hiding in my sleeping bag
Gila staring from his rocky crag
Scorpion feels heat from my head
Cactus growing beside my bead
This dry and painful home,
In the heat, all alone

Rainstorm brings down the gift of life
Fat drops falling, cut like a knife
I turn my eyes up to skies above
And heaven singing it's cry of love
It keeps us going on
Life keeps going on
Life keeps going on
