You can't get dunes where the wind doesn't blow
Can't get a river where the water don't flow
You can't get the blues where there ain't no rain
Lord, oh Lord, take me back again.
You can't get desert where the sun isn't hot
Can't see the moon where the night is not
Can't climb a hill without crossing the plain
Lord, oh Lord, let me go there again.
You can't have a tree without any roots
You got to have feet if you want to wear boots
Can't find a tear where they don't feel pain
Lord, oh Lord, take me back again.
Can't have summer if there's been no spring
Can't use a fishhook without any string
Sweet honey comes with a terrible sting
Lord, oh Lord, won't you hear me sing?
