Earthly Angels

Story Behind The Song

This song is to do with the futility of fighting in the deserts. East versus west where the rules are different and, while trying to bring about 'peace', things only get worse and drawn out.

Song Description

The message in the chorus is about seeing the futility of fighting in the desert where the 'hot sand touches the sky', and asking why we have to always fight. I mean what did fighting in Iraq do, in the end?

Bunty Bisharah


Christmas is always heavenly for some
But what about our heroes - always on the run
And looking at the desert skies - praying for an end
To the futile killing, which they try to mend


Just imagine that place in the desert, where the hot sand touches the sky
Nothing is impossible, if only we all try


Let's hold hands together and pray to the stars above
For kindness, peace and compassion, to form a bond of love
We are only humans - all wanting the same thing
So why does the scorpion's tail have to use its sting?


Just imagine that place in the desert, where the hot sand touches the sky
Nothing is impossible, if only we all try


The desert goes on forever, until it reaches the sky
They merge into each other, or so it seems to the eye
So why can't we all do the same, and learn to live in peace
And come to be accepting of the human race?


Just imagine that place in the desert, where the hot sand touches the sky
Nothing is impossible, if only we all try.
