Flowers in the Sand
©1991, 2003 Ian Byington/Ahimsa Music
When something dies in the desert
When something is buried in the sand
When something dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
When a palm tree dies in the desert
When a palm tree is buried in the sand
When a palm tree dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
When a cactus dies in the desert
When a cactus is buried in the sand
When a cactus dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
Bombs are dropping over Baghdad
Bombs are dropping over Tel Aviv
Bombs are dropping in the desert
Sometimes I don’t know what to believe
There has got to be a stop to the killing
There’s got to be a stop to the wars
There’s got to be a start to life, love and peace
This can’t go on anymore
When a camel dies in the desert
When a camel is buried in the sand
When a camel dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
When a soldier dies in the desert
When a soldier is buried in the sand
When a soldier dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
When a young child dies in the desert
When a young child is buried in the sand
When a young child dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
There has got to be a stop to the killing
There’s got to be a stop to the wars
There’s got to be a start to life, love and peace
This can’t go on anymore
When anything dies in the desert
When anything is buried in the sand
When anything dies in the desert
Does a flower grow in the sand?
