I'm walking through the desert
And I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
And I do not want what I haven't got

I have learned this from my mother
See how happy she has made me
I will not take this road much further
Though I know not where it takes me

I have water for my journey
I have bread and I have wine
No longer will I be hungry
For the bread of life is mine

I saw a lady bluebird
Flying way above the sea
I walked on land, I learned later
That this lady bluebird was me

I returned a paler blue bird
And this is the ? they gave me
You must not try to be too pure
You must fly closer to the sea

So I'm walking through the desert
And I am not frightened although it's hot
I have all that I requested
And I do not want what I haven't got
