Lyrics
Janna
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the desert
She chooses stones that suit you, and bids you them to carry
Watches while you’re speechless, searching for an answer
She smiles at your confusion, and what you do not know
Janna takes the sand
And runs it through her soul
Gathers sage to burn, that she bids the wind to carry
Watches while it drifts into the sky, and hangs there
Dreams of the day she’ll follow, and never search for home
Where are you now?
Running with the wind
Chasing the rain
And the storm that lies within
You dance through our dreams at night
And linger there until morning’s light
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the water
She chooses words that sooth you, and asks you to remember
Shows you all the wonders in this world, and holds you
Makes you a promise that you’ll never let her go
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the canyon
Finds the ancient trails, of those who came before us
She walked with no fear in this world, and dream’ t there
Offered us a taste of what we did not know
Where are you now?
Running with the wind
Chasing the rain
And the storm that lies within
You dance through our dreams at night
And linger there until morning’s light
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the desert….
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the desert
She chooses stones that suit you, and bids you them to carry
Watches while you’re speechless, searching for an answer
She smiles at your confusion, and what you do not know
Janna takes the sand
And runs it through her soul
Gathers sage to burn, that she bids the wind to carry
Watches while it drifts into the sky, and hangs there
Dreams of the day she’ll follow, and never search for home
Where are you now?
Running with the wind
Chasing the rain
And the storm that lies within
You dance through our dreams at night
And linger there until morning’s light
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the water
She chooses words that sooth you, and asks you to remember
Shows you all the wonders in this world, and holds you
Makes you a promise that you’ll never let her go
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the canyon
Finds the ancient trails, of those who came before us
She walked with no fear in this world, and dream’ t there
Offered us a taste of what we did not know
Where are you now?
Running with the wind
Chasing the rain
And the storm that lies within
You dance through our dreams at night
And linger there until morning’s light
Janna takes your hand
And leads you to the desert….
