Another day of work and toil
Without any rain just sun and dry dry sand
Alone again in the desert land
My lips are cracked and my feet are bleeding
With beads of sweat dripping off my brow
I look to the sky and see an eagle soaring
The blue sky roaring dreaming of thunder clouds
In this drought that's become my life
Alone again my family's gone
And my friends are dead
The mysteries I hold close will never lie
And the hurt I feel will never die
Some hurts only show on the inside
Besides why should I give out the clues
Nothing is left for me to decide
When you leave me with the blues
I've fallen down again in my desperation
It's night time
I have no food and I have no clothes
I'll ask the sand if the desert knows
Give me shelter from the elements
Give me shelter from my mind
Do I give up and allow myself to slowly disappear
Do I offer prompts to indicate that I need help
Who is listening
The lizards and the beetles
And maybe the birds of prey
I pray my voice will be heard
And my hurt will dissolve in the morning
Some hurts only show on the inside
Besides why should I give out the clues
Nothing is left for me to decide
When you leave me with the blues
