I’ve been walking in the desert
For so long now
Nothing but the sand
And the dry skies around
Nothing moves, all is still
Even the air is like lead
The sun burns my skin
And the sand by bear feet

Why, why
Why did I want to see this light?
Why, why
Why am I walking here?

When the sun falls down
The land turns red, red and frightful
The night comes and brings
No comfort in the desert
The winds slowly rise
Hiding the stars before they glow
The winds raise the sand
And beat bitterly my cheeks

Why, why
Why did I want to feel this cold?
Why, why
Why am I lyin’ here?

After forty days in the desert
Forty days and nights
After forty days in the desert
You finally realise
That all is meaningless
A chasing after the wind
That all is vanity
And vexation of spirit

Then your sight gets clearer
What do you really want?
Your sight gets clearer
What do you want for your life?
