Adrian Snell - Child Of The Desert lyrics

I was watching and I saw you walking by Your bones were naked but nobody wondered why Staring through me hollowed eyes that told the pain Bruised and broken where your body takes the blame Your eyes still haunt me as you fall I'm aching to your silent call And I would take you in my arms And bring you life But I can't give alone Child of the desert Where the mother's milk is dry Child of the burning lands of flame Where the breath is spent in sighs Child of the millions I can hear your cries for healing Child of the waste and starving land I would fight where d**h is stealing But I'm too weak to share alone My heart is hardened into stone My lips are sealed though I would Comfort and revive For I can't give alone I met with a stranger Who spoke of life and laughter His name was the Lord of life And all His people share His love now I was standing and my eyes they turned to see Jesus weeping, and His eyes were turned to me Staring through me loving eyes that told the pain Bruised and broken where His body took the blame Your eyes still haunt me as I stand I'm aching for this silent land And I would take you to this child And bring your love And bring your life
