On the first part of the journey

I was looking at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rain

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

And sky with no clouds

The heat was hot and the ground was dry

But the air was full of sound

 

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

Cause' there aint no one for to give you no pain

 

la la la -

Fa la la la -

 

After two days in the desert sun

My skin began to turn red

After three days in the desert fun

I was looking at a river bed

And the story it told of a river that flowed

Made me sad to think that it was dead

 

You see - I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

'Cause' there aint no one for to give you no pain

 

la la la -

Fa la la la -

 

After nine days I let the horse run free

'Cause the desert had turn to sea

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is desert with it's life underground

And the perfect disguise above

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

But the humans would give no love

 

You see - I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert you can remember your name

Cause' there aint no one for to give you no pain

 

Fa la la la -

Fa la la la -

Fa la la la -
