LYRICS
Desert dawnRise up early, lift your song
On the breath of
life that rises from the Glowing stone
Feel the rock of ages, smooth against your skin
Smell the breath of flowers
dancing on the wind
Dancing on the wind
Canyon siesta
Resting shady by a pool
Dancing water
sings a song beneath a Cottonwood
Baptized in the water, shriven in the sand
Dried upon the summer breeze
/>
Touched by God’s own hand
Touched by God’s own hand
Twilight turns
To the beating of a drum
/>
Stand in flaming silhouette before the Setting sun
When the night comes ‘round you lay your blanket on the sand
/>
Reach up to the sky and touch the stars with your own hands,
Stars with your own hands.
