We Were Young

I wandered a desert
Searching for solace
That quarter was empty
Nothing but malice

Committed no crime
Just the same
Abandoned my tribe
To find a new name

We were young
Though we knew
Will you forgive me
Will I forgive you

Unlock the water
Cleanse this shell
Oh for a downpour
I want to be well

We had an abundance
Now we scavenge and dowse
Our swords here are useless
Whither the plows

It has not rained
It's been years
We've been drained
Of all tears

We were young
Though we knew
Will you forgive me
Will I forgive you

Where's the oasis
A respite to wash
Some wounds with some water
To discard the lash

I wandered a desert
Arid and parched
My thirst needed slaking
Onward I marched
