Pillar of Flame

TTTO “Horse with No Name”

When I was but a baby

In the water I started my life

Those are the songs that they all sing

But it doesn’t mean a thing

The first thing I knew was my life as a prince

Escaping the crowds

The bush was aflame and the heat was dry

And the air was full of sound

[Chorus]

I’ve walked through the desert with a pillar of flame

As the people did naught but complain

In the desert you can follow the flame

It will keep on burning, ‘cause there’s never no rain

Nye nye nye, nanana, …

After running through the desert sun

We came to the sea which is red

It parted before us, we started to run

Across the dry sea bed

As the story unfolds, when it’s all said and told

I was sad that the army was dead

[Chorus]

Now we’re a new people, and we are free

As we walk from sea to sea

Those are the song that they all sing

But it doesn’t mean a thing

In the desert there are hidden lakes underground

With a rock to disguise them above

I have led you to water and now I’ll turn around

To the homeland that I love

[Chorus]
