A Horse With No Name

America

On the first part of the long journey 

I was looking at all the life 
There were green 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 white 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 cold rain 
In the desert you can 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 soft skin began to turn red 
After three days in the desert super fun 
I was looking at a river bed 
And the story it told of a river that flowed 
Made me really 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 cold rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ... 

After nine tiring days I let the horse run free 

'Cause the desert had turned to blue sea 
There were plants and birds and rocks and things 
there was sand and high 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 hard 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 cold rain 
In the desert you can remember your name 
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain 
La, la ...
