From the recording Last Call to Higher Ground
Lyrics
Time stands still
No movement found
On the dusty, lonesome land
The silent place
Patiently awaits
The heavens to wake up
And spare a drop of rain
But, I know, even the desert will bloom again
Oh, I know, even the desert will bloom again
And the rain will fall
Heal it all
And wash away the pain
Yes, I know, even the desert will bloom again
The burning sun just won’t let up
On the arid, barren land
Unfertile ground
Crumbling dirt is found
Dry brush crying out
Words without a sound
(Chorus)
I know the dry season will soon be gone
There will be life where the ground was once bare
Colors will flood the land like a beautiful song
Oh, I know, there’ll be hope in the air
(Chorus)
