Lyrics:

Oh, the desert dreams of a river
That will run down to the sea
Like my heart longs for an ocean
To wash down over me

Oh, won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
'Til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love

Oh, the outcast dreams of acceptance
Just to find pure love's embrace
Like an orphan longs for his mother
May you hold me in your grace

Won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
'Til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love

Oh, the caged bird dreams of a strong wind
That will flow beneath her wings
Like a voice longs for a melody
Oh, Jesus carry me

Won't you take me from this valley
To that mountain high above?
I will pray, pray, pray
'Til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love

I will pray, pray, pray
'Til I see your smiling face
I will pray, pray, pray
To the one I love
