On the first part

of the journey

I was lookin'

at all the life

There were plants and birds

and rocks and things

there was sand

and hills and rings

The first thing I met

was a fly with a buzz

and the sky

with no clouds

The heat was hot

and the ground was dry

but the air

was full of sound

I've been through the desert

on a horse with no name

it felt good to be

out of the rain

In the desert

you can remember your name

'cause there ain't no-one

for to give you no pain

Laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

After two days

in the desert sun

my skin began to turn red

After three days

in the desert fun

I was lookin'

at a river bed

And the story it told

of a river that flowed

made me sad

to think it was dead

You see I've been

through the desert

on a horse with no name

it felt good to be

out of the rain

In the desert

you can remember your name

'cause there ain't no-one

for to give you no pain

Laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

After nine days

I let the horse run free

'cause the desert

had turned to sea

There were plants and birds

and rocks and things

there was sand

and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert

with its life underground

and a perfect disguise above

Under the cities

lies a heart made of ground

but the humans

will give no love

You see I've been

through the desert

on a horse with no name

it felt good to be

out of the rain

In the desert

you can remember your name

'cause there ain't no-one

for to give you no pain

Laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

Laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

Laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa

laa-laa-laa, la-la-la-la

la-la-la, laa-laa
