I was born in the desert
So I know how it feels there
Well, look up it's a shooting star
But it's as black as night no stars

Well, this is the first thing
That I've written
Since I wrote about freedom
And then the wall came down
Well, we thought it was a great beginning
People were free to cross the line
But then something happened in the desert
Something broke the stars into pieces

Well, I live below a great red mountain
In the shape of a great huge beast
In a place the Indians call, Paradise Valley
Well, well this has always been my sanctuary
I send that to you too
There on the other side of the world
In the desert and we are the guardians
No black clouds just the faces of you

So where is my father?
Where has he gone?
And where is my husband?
And where is my son?
Where is my father?
Where has he gone?
What is it that happened here?
Is it real this war, this can't be happening

Well, I need to see you in your, far away war
And you should know, how much we love you
Well they call us here
Operation desert angel
They call us here
Operation desert angel
In waiting

Operation desert shield
Operation desert storm
Operation desert angel

Angels been waiting
Come home
Just the faces of you
Come home
Operation desert angel
