You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Ain’t nobody else, can walk it for you
You gotta walk that lonesome valley by herself
My mother she's gonna walk that lonesome valley
My mother she’s gonna walk it by herself
Ain’t nobody else, can walk it for her
My mother she’s gonna walk that lonesome valley, by herself
And when we march upon the temple
We'll be marching hand in hand
When we march together no one can stop us
Oh we gotta march upon the temple hand in hand
Oh but when you ride that silver highway
Yes I’ll be ridin’ by your side
Anywhere in the world, you go I’ll follow
Yeah I’m gonna ride that silver highway by your side
You gotta walk that lonesome valley
You gotta walk it by yourself
Ain’t nobody else, can walk it for you
You gotta walk that lonesome valley by herself

Joshua Tree

Born with a silver spoon
Through velvet curtains we stared at the moon
On silken carpets we travelled far
And I played the piano, and you played guitar
Little sister of mine tell me where will you go
I am going to the desert where the wildflowers grow
Little sister of mine tell me where will you be
I’m going to a place called Joshua Tree
I can’t follow in your footsteps, and I can't ease your fears
It ain’t on me to make you happy, in this world full of tears
No I don’t need a garden just gimme rocks and sand
Gonna drive out all the way to the end of the road
Make my home out on the land
Little sister of mine tell me where will you go
I am going to the desert where the wildflowers grow
Little sister of mine tell me where will you be
I’m going to a place called Joshua Tree
Joshua tree, Joshua tree,
I am going to a place called Joshua Tree
And now it’s time, away I fly,
Gonna get drunk on the stars and sky
And brother there’s no need to cry
To all of my lovers I say goodbye
We'll meet again in the by and by...

Turtle Dove

To walk across the desert to the water we seek
We’re gonna need a lot of love
To reach the other side of the ocean so wide and so deep
We gotta fly like the turtledove
Oh Eh Oh Ay, fly like the turtledove
To broker a peace between the wolf and the sheep
We’re gonna need a lot of love
If gonna we wriggle free from the grip of the raven’s beak
We gonna cry like the turtledove
Oh Eh Oh Ay, cry like the turtledove
To keep on a fighting when we're facing defeat
We’re gonna need a lot of love
Before we begin we gotta wake the sleepy ones from their sleep
We gotta coo like the turtledove
Oh Eh Oh Ay, coo like the turtledove
To bring in all the people who are living apart
We’re gonna need a lot of love
Keep a candle burning for the ones who are lost in the dark
We gotta sing like the turtledove
Oh Eh Oh Ay, sing like the turtledove
To keep on a fighting when we’re facing defeat
We gotta wake the sleepy ones from there sleep
To bring in all the people who are living apart
We gotta keep a candle for the ones who are lost in the dark

Gonna walk a thousand miles
Gonna crawl a thousand more
Gonna live my life in exile
Lord I’m about to break
I can’t take the war no more
Gonna leave my wife and children
Gonna learn to speak in many tongues
And i’ll do my best to learn to do
Whatever labor you need done
I’ll sell the little that I own
I’ll sow the money in my coat
The smugglers will take it from me
When i climb inside the boat
And sail away to peaceful shores
Lord I’m about to break
I can’t take the war no more
Ten more borders must I cross to reach my brothers in the north
And in the woods I hear the dogs howling like a pack of wolves
When I emerge from underground my feet will carry me no more
Tired and hungry and empty handed I’ll be standing at your door
Oh I’ll be at your mercy
‘cause I can’t take the war no more
And if someday I do return
And reach my home all overgrown
I’ll welcome every stranger who
Knocks upon my door
And live in peace til I am old
Lord I’m about to break
I can’t take the war no more

I don’t need...
You know I don’t really need
All of the things that I say I need
I got an ice machine
I got a radiator, a station wagon
I got a shining portal to a universe
Of images of things and people
I might someday meet and
Others I will never know
One day we will wake up under a new sun
We will feel less alone there’ll be
Nothing left to win or lose, no-oh vacations
No record deals, no newspapers
And no more hollywood movies
No I don’t need a translator to read
What’s written in the sand
No I don’t need a religion to believe
The creator has a plan
And I don’t need a diamond
And I don’t need a gun
And I don’t need a microphone
Oh and I don’t need an airplane
To get where I'm going
We all need clean water
A drop of honey for our tea
And we all need something to believe in
And we know that it ain’t money
And these prison bars feel paper thin
Like we could brush them all away
How can it be so hard to get from more to less?
Oh people let me hear you say:
We don’t need oh we don’t need
We don’t need all of the things that they say that we need
