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
[Chorus]
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 that I love
Oh the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for its mother
May you hold me in your grace
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
Oh I will pray, pray, pray till I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray to the one that I love
