This is a song I wrote, not long after returning from Big Bend State Ranch. (edited 1.15.21)
Invitation:
Ummmm m. Ummmmm m.
1
Look'n forward, to being now.
Yeah, You ain't young, you been around.
Cast aside what you don't need
'heard that voice say follow me!
Walk until you can go no more.
Fall on your knees at the desert's door.
Refrain:
Ohhh oh, ohhhoho.
It is time, to seek and find.
in this desert state of mind.
sun on the rocks, dry creek bed
tough is parched, belly unfed
Yes breath,
Yes see
Yes breath,
Yes be
2
Hear my words, know my voice
Fear or love, make a choice.
I'll live in you, you live in me.
My way will set your soul at ease.
Sometimes the road, it may be tough.
We'll have the truth, it'll be enough.
3
life in the desert, soul in the wood.
sound of silence, home of good.
What was hidden, is revealed to me
I once was blind, but now I see
Life in the desert, soul in the wood
You spoke to me and I understood.
5
Return from the wild, tongue on fire.
to tell the truth, I aspire
The same path looks, different now
Forgiveness, blessing, I know-how.
This ain't a race, you can win
I see God underneath your skin
outro:
Ohhh oh, ohhhoho.
It is time, to seek and find.
Ohhh oh, ohhhoho.
in this desert state of mind.
