I was born in the desert. I’ve been down for years.
Jesus, come closer, I think my time is near.
I’ve travelled over dry earth and floods,
hell and high water, to bring you my love.

I’ve climbed over mountains, travelled the seas,
and cast out of heaven, cast down on my knees.
I have lain with the devil and cursed God above,
and forsaken heaven to bring you my love.
