We rose early on a desert morning Into the burning sands we go Said "good day" to the thieves and fakers We did it all for a chance to tell a tale We rode on until early next morning Eyes burned and our nerves were frayed I confess I felt so worthless I lost hope, big price to pay Now there were stars and there were wild birds circling A lot of screams and a fight breaks out Between wars and between burnings He did it all for a chance to die for love I went higher than I'd ever been before I went lower than the depths could hold I said a prayer, then without warning A figure rose up from the desert floor He looked at me, said "how high are you?" I looked at him with my one good eye We just smiled and stared in silence He did it all for a chance to die for love We think again on the dreams that made us As I stare into your beautiful eyes There came a day when the words had meaning The sky cried and the waters came rushing I do believe you are the lone survivor I suspect you of the bravest deeds He just smiled and said it's all worth it I fell down on my knees and I cried, for love
