Lyrics
DESERT MAN
(c)1991 Ron Chassner
Vs
Had a dream, I was a soldier
With a mission, far, far away
I came to free my brothers
Take 'em home, back home today
Desert's hot, with winds like fire
And you know, it never ends
And they say, that they get higher
When the storms begin again
Chorus:
Desert Man, where are they hidin'
Desert Man, where do they roam
You can dry the tears you're fightin'
We have come to bring you home
Vs
God, you know I can't keep walkin'
And this sand, it never ends
Now, I hear 'em talkin'
'Bout more guns, about more men
Ch
Desert Man, we're coming in now
Desert Man, to set you free
Desert Man, we're gonna win now
And you're coming home with me
Break
Vs
Had a dream, that I was home again
Every one I loved was there
Then I woke up in the desert
In the Storm, and full of fear
Chorus
