It Was You (Shasta's Song)
I came over desert and mountain
I came though the jackals were howling
And the lions they chased us
As we ran toward our freedom
But it was you, all along it was you
I faced death a dozen times
Climbed higher than I thought that I could climb
I was looking for a home I'd seen only in my mind
But when I opened up my eyes it was you
I ran from the man I called father
And I burn with unquenchable fire
So I dug to the marrow
And found all my courage
But it was you, all along it was you
Never thought I'd make it through
Never thought I'd get another chance to prove
I've got life within my limbs
And a hunger for the truth
But it was you, even the hunger, it was you
Who is this stranger at my side?
What is this danger and delight?
What is the secret that you tell?
It whispers in the trees
It rumbles in the ground
It trumpets in the sky
Myself
I came over desert and mountain
i came though the jackals were howling
I came though the jackals were howling
And the lions they chased us
As we ran toward our freedom
But it was you, all along it was you
I faced death a dozen times
Climbed higher than I thought that I could climb
I was looking for a home I'd seen only in my mind
But when I opened up my eyes it was you
I ran from the man I called father
And I burn with unquenchable fire
So I dug to the marrow
And found all my courage
But it was you, all along it was you
Never thought I'd make it through
Never thought I'd get another chance to prove
I've got life within my limbs
And a hunger for the truth
But it was you, even the hunger, it was you
Who is this stranger at my side?
What is this danger and delight?
What is the secret that you tell?
It whispers in the trees
It rumbles in the ground
It trumpets in the sky
Myself
I came over desert and mountain
i came though the jackals were howling
