Big Kalvin && Mr. Cain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go write it in the desert sand
I need a helping hand
There'll be souls up in the desert sky
And they can see the things you write
They're gonna take you up high
You'll see people down there who sit and cry
Please help them to get up high
Oh, the sense of life must be to get up high
Not to crawl in the sand, wasting your time
Waiting for the promised land
Oh, when you're lost and lonely in a desert land
Go write it in the desert sand
I need a helping hand
There'll be souls up in the desert sky
And they can see the things you write
They're gonna take you up high
Then when you're high up in the desert sky
You'll see people down there who sit and cry
You gotta help them to get up high
'Cause they're waiting for the promised land
Waiting for the promised land
Waiting for the promised land
They're waiting for the promised land
