On the first part of the journey

I was lookin' at all the life

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

There was sand and hills and rings

The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz

and the sky with no clouds

The heat was hot and the ground was dry

But the air was full of sound



I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert, you can't remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

La, La ....



After two days in the desert sun

my skin began to turn red

After three days in the desert fun

I was lookin' at a river bed

And the story it told of a river that flowed

Made me sad to think it was dead



You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert, you can't remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

La, La ....



After nine days I let the horse run free

'Cause the desert had turned to sea

There were plants and birds and rocks and things

Tyere was sand and hills and rings

The ocean is a desert with its life underground

And a perfect disguise above

Under the cities lies a heart made of ground

but the humans will give no love



You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name

It felt good to be out of the rain

In the desert, you can't remember your name

'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain.

La, La
