"A Fountain in the Desert"
( l y r i c s )
A FOUNTAIN IN THE DESERT
(January 22, 1994)

There's a wasteland on the side of the road
Burning buildings mark the treaty that was broken
There's another man lying upon his back
With his arms reaching upward to the sky

(chorus)
There is hope like a fountain in the desert
I am not alone
No I am not alone

What would your answer be when you are asked
"How did you treat your brother?"
"How did you treat your sister?"
"Did you give and not expect to get return?"
(to chorus)

Deep in my heart I'm callin'
For mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy on my soul
Deep in the river where life's flowin'
The blood of innocence is mourned

In the darkness, I reach out for the light
Won't you come and take my hand
And in the darkness I reach out for the light
Won't you come and take my hand
(to chorus)
