The Crossing

Anu

When I crossed the desert
I left everything behind
My gun
My money
And the burdens of my mind

When I crossed the Mojave
There was nothing that I lacked
I left in the dead of night
And I never once looked back

When I crossed Death Valley
Forgave and forgot no one
Nor any of the things I had done

When I crossed Death Valley
As I neared the other side
I heard a lone rider coming
And I held my head up high
