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?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until 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 his mother.
May you hold me in your grace.

Won´t you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.

Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow ´neath her wings.
Like a voice longs for a melody,
Oh, Jesus carry me.

Won´t you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.

I will pray, pray, pray
Until I see your smiling face.
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love.
