I Am A Desert (Waiting For Rain)

Just thinkin' out loud.

Take a look at your Problems

Take a look at your Woes

Take a look at your Problems 

Boy

You think there are so many Foes

But won't you look Again

With these eyes that I Hold

Take a look at your Problems 

Boy

You think there are so many Foes

You see so many Mountains

But with these eyes there only Hills

You see guising Fountains

But with mine it's just a Squirt

Take a look at your Problems

Take a look at your Woes

Take a look at your Problems 

Boy

You think there are so many Foes

You ain't even seen Problems

Boy

Not in this great land that you Live

You gotta learn one thing Child 

That is how to Forgive

I can't believe it when I See

Just how you Live

You gotta learn one thing Child 

That is how to Forgive

And when you do Son

On you first, you must Apply

All that Compassion you need It

Like the Desert you are Dry

Apply that Compassion

With Liberal Supply

Apply that Compassion

Yes, on that you can Rely

You gotta learn one thing Child 

That is how to Forgive

And when you do Son

On you first, you must Apply

How you gonna Love this World 

If you don't love you First

You know that will never Do

No, that will never Work

If you wanna Love this World 

You gotta learn to love you First

If you wanna See this World 

You know you gotta See you First

Once you start Drinking

From your own Well

You know that's got me Thinking

We all been under a Spell

Cause once you start Drinking

It's so easy to See

That all is coming to You

It is the only way that it can Be

Start drinking form your Well

And you will Never Thirst

It's got me so Excited

I'm about to Burst

I don't wanna say it right Out Loud

For fear someone will Disprove

But I been talkin' about it Now

And it all just seems to fit the Groove

Drink from your Well

Drink from your Well

It will break that old Spell

It will break that old Spell

That one that's been hangin' o'er Head

Seems since the day you were Born

This mornin' woke up in my Bed

I said, for whom do I Morn

And then I said, it is that One

That we chose to leave Behind

Remember the child of the Sun

Who became so very Blind

You know he faded rather Slowly

It started with believing just one Lie

But once that they have your Ear

It's then they start to pour on the Fear

And before you know It

There is a fire burning to your Soul

And there seems know way you can quit It

This thing that's come and swallows you Whole

Drink from your Well

Drink from your Well

It will break that old Spell

It will break that old Spell

That one that's been hangin' o'er Head

Seems since the day you were Born

This Mornin' woke up in my Bed

I asked why is my Heart Torn

You know I couldn't say one Thing

I was just laying there like a Stoop

And that's when I saw It

Like I'd been locked in a Coop

I looked into my Mind

And it seemed so Dull

I looked into my Heart 

It was caught in a Lull

And then the Voices

They returned again to Me

Helping to make right Choices

As I am struggling to See

Take a look at your Problems

Take a look at your Woes

Take a look at your Problems 

Boy

You think there are so many Foes

You ain't even seen Problems

Boy

Not in this great land that you Live

You gotta learn one thing Child 

That is how to Forgive

And when you do Son

On you first, you must Apply

All that Compassion you need It

Like the Desert you are Dry

Apply that Compassion

With Liberal Supply

Apply that Compassion

Yes, on that you can Rely
