Desert Child
Desert Child

By R Becker.

You
You are a desert child
Jacob left you here

You were Pharoah's
Blessed son

History.
Smiles
Upon your smile
You've been wandering around
You've healed
The places where you've been found.

And now
It's a glory
You have earned
It's the place of your return
The place of your return

But
There's a blame upon
Your name
They say you've been poisoning the wells
It's totally insane

Mad
The world has all
Gone mad
They say things
That makes God
Weep

Things that make
God weep

But you
Hands up in the air

I know why you are
There
Jesus put you there.

Look
How beautiful you are
Each soldier is Star
With kindness in their eyes

Well,
Someday
It will all be well

You'll come with plowshares
Not a sword
To the glory
Of the Lord...
