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
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
