The Dessert Of My Mind


So there I was in the middle of nowhere,
Not a person to talk to and not a thing to see.
I had forgotten how I got there.
And I didn't remember ever leaving.

All I knew is that here I was
Even more alone than before,
All I ever wanted,
Was always a little more.

The stars crept through the black night sky,
They watched as I wandered aimlessly.
The moon had had all it's laughs for tonight,
So now it just sat and watched me.

Up in the sky flying up so high was a Vultur's eye on me,
He landed on ground beside me close so I could see him.
He said, "How are you? Where are you going? What are you doing here?"
I told him I was lost, he told me, "Not to fear."

As I turned around I saw a small door
Maybe too small for me.
So I asked him if he'd help me,
He said, "No unfortunatly."

"You see," he said "I can't be your eyes
or even tell you what to think.
'Cause you can lead a horse to water
but you cannot make him drink."

So I got down on my hands and knees
And I started to climb in.
But the further down I wandered
the more the air got thin.

The air got warm and then it was hot
The I could not see a thing.
But I knew that the Vulture
was still right there beside me.

I said "How much further?"
"Not much more, just keep going down."
Then before I knew it
I had crawled right off the ground.

I fell and fell and I fell some more
and after I just kept falling.
I started to lose hope,
I couldn't help but start bawling.

Then in a misty voice I heard the Vulture's call
telling me to fly.
"I know you can't but it wouldn't hurt
to just give it a try."

So I flapped my arms faster
Than I ever though I could,
I asked him to help me he said
"Oh I know I should!"

"But if I help you get to the top
what will you have learned?
You must get through this yourself
if success is to be earned."

So I flapped and kicked and I didn't quit
Hoping that I would not break.
The air had gotten thinner
and I began to faint.

And there I was in the middle of nowhere,
Lying in my bed so comfortably.
I had forgotten how I got there.
And I didn't remember ever leaving.
