lyrics

How far have I come?
On a desert road so long.
Fill the sacred solitude
with vagabond song.

There’s a rise ahead,
off this sage-brush plain,
to the lonesome plateau
where the shaman’s bones were laid.

And I’ll climb
offering a prayer to encounter the divine.

At the mesa, I will bow my head.
At the mesa, where I was led.
At the mesa, where I was shown
the starlight glow within our bones.

Walk the trackless waste
See so many others on their way
Weighed down by heavy loads
Of bitterness and pain.

I know I’ve got my own,
and I long to lay them down.
That’s why I’m on this mountain
Making for higher ground.

I’ll climb
offering a prayer to encounter the divine.

At the mesa, I drop to my knees.
At the mesa, finally free.
At the mesa, with all I’ll never know,
yet a grateful song in my soul.

At the mesa, let a fire burn.
At the mesa, until our return.
At the mesa, we walk into the dark,
with its warmth in our eyes, our hands and our hearts.
