Lyrics
I was born in the desert
So I know how it feels there
Well, look up, it's a shooting star
But it's as black as night, no stars
Well, this is the first thing that I've written
Since I wrote about freedom
And then the wall came down
We thought it was a great beginning
People were free to cross the line
But then something happened in the desert
Something broke the stars into pieces
Well, I live below a great red mountain
In the shape of a great huge beast
In a place the Indians call Paradise Valley
Well, this has always been my sanctuary
I send that to you too
You're on the other side of the world
In the desert
We are the guardians
No black clouds. just the faces of you
(Faces of you, faces of you)
So where is my father, where has he gone?
And where is my husband, and where is my son?
Where is my father, where has he gone?
What is it that happened here, is this real?
This war, this can't be happening
Well, I need to see you in your one more far away war
And you should know how much we love you
Well, they call us here Operation Desert Angel
They call us here, we're Operation Desert Angel
In waiting., Operation Desert Shield
Operation Desert Storm
Operation Desert Angel
We're angels in waiting (come home)
Just the faces are few (come home)
Operation Desert Angel
