If I were a desert flower
All winter long I
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring
As tiny buds begin to bloom
In spring I
The winters gloom.
If I were a brook of water
Kissed by the frost along my borders
Spring would make me sing my voice would ring
As I
In spring I
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man
Don
It
If I were a joyful songbird
All winter long so cold and somber
Spring would make me sing
My voice would ring like tiny bells on scarves of silk
A song as beautiful and pure as mothers milk.
But I am only a child of man
I am only a child of man
Just an innocent child of man
Don
Shine and glow
It
That is making me so.
Don't be surprised
By this look in my eyes
Like a flower or tree
I will bloom in the spring
I will shed all my woes
As the green grass grows
Like a flower or tree
I will throw my head back and sing
If I were a desert flower, desert flower..
