How many time have I prayed for rain,
On my knees in the dry desert?
How many times have I asked for shade?
Only to be blistered and burned by a merciless sun.
How many times have I seen an oasis,
That was nothing more than a mirage in the sunlight?
How many times has my soul died,
While the vultures circle above?

I think they've already picked clean my bleached bones?
