Lyrics
Warm breath of a desert night
Give the travelers a break from the sunlight
Lone coyote splits the silence
Night sky is alive
The night sky is alive, and so are we
Yeah, so are we
We come traveling across this land
Like all who have walked upon this sand
These sacred bushes and boulders
Have stood their ground
They stood their ground, and so must we
We look to the heavens
To get out of our heads
We look to the future
When we should look back instead
At all the other travelers
Who have gazed at what we see
As they danced by the Joshua Tree
Danced by the Joshua Tree
Lying here I can feel the power
Of this place, this day and this hour
Ever, we will clutch this moment
When we got to come together
Travelers together, you and me
Ah, you and me
And the Joshua Tree
Oh, let’s look to the heavens
And get out of our heads
We’ll dance with the angels
And be heart to heart again
Imagine all the other travelers
Who were here before we
Got a chance to dance by the Joshua Tree
Dance by the Joshua Tree
Oh by the Joshua Tree
