Small children in the dry vastness of desert destruction might seem to have lost everything but they still have tomorrows.


I Will Take You

I will take you to the road's end
Where the whistle thorn tears the sky
We will wait by the dry river bend
And there we will cry

For the old land
The green land
Holding hand
Understand

We will listen for the high call
As the vultures search for death
You and I we are so small
Where the land has lost its breath

In the dry land
The dust land
Dying land
Understand

But we are alive to be here
Our eyes can see dream light
We can look now without fear
We have the gift of future sight

In our own land
Our future land
Living land
Understand
