On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and rain
The first thing I met was a fly with no buzz
And a sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can't remember your name
Cause there ain't no one to a give you no pain

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told
Of a river that floated
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
After nine days I let the horse run free
Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There were sand and hills and things
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And the perfectest sky is above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
