“Joshua Tree”
If you
Come across the desert,
I’ll be your Joshua Tree.
If you
Come across the desert,
That’s where you’ll find me.
Isolated in my desolation,
The eagle that climbs my sky
Becomes my one elation.
He trills a promise in his cry
And I believe because I’m the daughter
Of the desert and of the wind.
Never needed much by way of water,
I only needed to believe.
I only needed to stretch my way to Heaven
To taste her clouds and find reprieve.
If you
Come across the desert,
I’ll be your Joshua Tree.
I’ll be
Waiting here in the desert.
Come make your journey.
