[00:04.259]Oh, the desert dreams of a river
[00:14.442]That will run down to the sea
[00:19.798]Like my heart longs for an ocean
[00:25.378]To wash down over me
[00:31.082]Oh, won't you take me from this valley
[00:36.038]To that mountain high above?
[00:41.806]I will pray, pray, pray
[00:47.177]'Til I see your smiling face
[00:50.266]I will pray, pray, pray
[00:53.023]To the one I love
[00:55.370]Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance
[01:02.104]Just to find pure love's embrace
[01:07.330]Like an orphan longs for his mother
[01:12.725]May you hold me in your grace
[01:18.489]Won't you take me from this valley
[01:23.947]To that mountain high above?
[01:29.551]I will pray, pray, pray
[01:35.006]'Til I see your smiling face
[01:38.023]I will pray, pray, pray
[01:41.219]To the one I love
[01:43.584]Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
[02:10.647]That will flow beneath her wings
[02:17.867]Like a voice longs for a melody
[02:26.544]Oh, Jesus carry me
[02:38.621]Won't you take me from this valley
[02:51.413]To that mountain high above?
