Miles of Desert Sand

by Watkins Family Hour

on Brother Sister (2020)

[Instrumental intro]

[Verse 1]
Years of trouble here that blind us
Danger closing in
All we know we leave behind us
And we won't go back again

[Verse 2]
Oh, my brother
Come and take my hand
We'll walk together
Until we reach that promised land

[Verse 3]
All the sorrow and the pain here
Are greater than the miles
Of desert sand

[Instrumental interlude]

[Verse 4]
In the land of milk and honey
There's fruit on every tree
Our feet blistered and bloody
But our children will be free

[Verse 5]
Oh, my sister
Come and take my hand
We'll walk together
Until that promised land

[Verse 6]
All the pain we left behind us
Is greater than the miles
Of desert sand
Greater than the miles

[Instrumental Outro]
