I been strollin down by the riverbed

Searchin for answers

Shifting the rocks, the pebbles and stones

Trying to dig up the secrets and unknowns

But the ripples never speak

The ferns never reply, that's the natural technique

Only silence

As the water slips and shimmies on by

I been walkin on the beach

Searchin for answers

Under the sun I wander and roam

Diggin the sand, kickin the foam

Tryin to unearth

The secrets of the world's worth

But the sand barely whispers, the foam only scorns

Only silence

As the tide shies away and mourns

I been crossin every desert

Searchin for answers

Climbing the dunes and braving the storms

The scorching heat, the flies in swarms

I couldn't understand what they were tryin to preach

And the solace of water remained always out of reach

-Never an oasis

Only a mirage
