  • I'm walking through the desert
    And I am not frightened although it's hot
    I have all that I requested
    And I do not want what I haven't got
    I have learned this from my mother
    See how happy she has made me
    I will take this road much further
    Though I know not where it takes me
    I have water for my journey
    I have bread and I have wine
    No longer will I be hungry
    For the bread of life is mine
    I saw a navy blue bird
    Flying way above the sea
    I walked on and I learned later
    That this navy blue bird was me
    I returned a paler blue bird
    And this is the advice they gave me
    You must not try to be too pure
    You must fly closer to the sea
    So I'm walking through the desert
    And I am not frightened although it's hot
    I have all that I requested
    And I do not want what I haven't got Writer/s: SINEAD O'CONNOR
