Oh, the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
Oh, I will pray, pray, pray 'til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one I love
Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for it's mother
Won't you hold me in your grace?
Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
Oh, I will pray, pray, pray 'til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one I love
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Ooh, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh, Jesus, carry me
Oh, won't you take me oh from this valley
To that mountain high, high above?
Oh, I will pray, pray, pray 'til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one I love
Oh, I will pray, pray, pray 'til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one I love
