holly arrowsmith - desert owl lyrics

[verse 1]
i walk a lonely road
there’s a junction up ahead
i’ve got no job, no home
nearly all my money’s spent
i came for a resolution
a certain answer clear
but it ain’t what i need
and i will not find it here
painting circles in the empty sky
the vultures cry, “you’re dead!”
snakes whisper “rest a while”
“lay down your weary head”

[chorus]
then the red sun bursts on the mountain high
spills like blood down the valley dry
peace like a river extend to me and carry my feet on by
no brother before me or behind
my mind is worn and my body’s tired
peace like a river extend to me and carry my feet on by

[verse 2]
i am a desert owl
an owl among the ruins
looking on, with wisdom and with sorrow
in the words of a great man
“this world is dying and it’s hardly been born”
so i, sing to serve the ones who search beyond the shadows
the shadows

[chorus]
the red sun bursts on the mountain high
spills like blood down the valley dry
peace like a river extend to me and carry my feet on by
no brother before me or behind
my mind is worn and my body’s tired
peace like a river extend to me and carry my feet on by
carry my feet on, carry my feet on by
peace like a river won’t you carry my feet on by
peace like a river, carry my feet on by
oh peace like a river carry my feet on by
