Oh the desert dreams of a river
|
That will run down to the sea
|
Like my heart longs for an ocean
|
To wash down over me
|
|
Oh won't you take me from this valley
|
To that mountain high above
|
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
|
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
|
|
Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance
|
Just to find pure love's embrace
|
Like an orphan longs for its mother
|
May you hold me in your grace
|
|
Oh won't you take me from this valley
|
To that mountain high above
|
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
|
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
|
|
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
|
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
|
|
Oh the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
|
That will flow beneath her wings
|
Like a voice longs for a melody
|
Oh Jesus, carry me
|
|
Oh won't you take me from this valley
|
To that mountain high above
|
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
|
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
|
|
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
|
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
|
