Lyrics
Everybody needs a place to hide their head
Where they turn away from a big world
And their dreams once said
Let it roll on with the desert wind
The sand will come & blow out your hideaway
(Pre-Chours)
Took the rising seed, sewn it into love
Realized our dreams and maybe above
God will see us through
(Chorus)
Let's get on down to the Reservation
Where we'll dance for rain
And pray for the sun to shine
Everybody needs a place to lie their head
When all is wrong & your dreams are is gone
And you finally said
Let it roll on with the desert wind
The sand will come & blow out your hideaway
(here comes the sand blow me away)
(Pre-Chorus - "realized" replaced with "give into")
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Take this vibe, don't falsify
It's in your eyes the big surprise
Electrifying feeling coming over me
(Interlude)
(Chorus)
Everybody needs somewhere...
