Lyrics
I heard the wind cry the name of Zion
I saw her image in the shifting sand
She wanted a shoulder to cry on
She wanted someone to understand
There aint no saints in Zion
No sinners either, as far as I know
There aint no bag of tricks, no quick and easy fix
In Zion it's just a show
I swam in the streams of Babylon
I swam in the waters of the Rivers of Life
The Priest of the Stars, he knew my name there
He knew the trouble I call my life
There aint no saints in Babylon
No sinners either as far as I can tell
You can get your kicks on the other side of the River Styx
But in Babylon, life is hell
Why am I talking to you anyway?
You never hear what I have to say
You never dared; and you never will.
Your life's a dream and you're asleep.
There's more to love than you can keep.
There's more to life than you can kill.
Underneath the Cedars of Lebanon
Sleeps the secret of a Holy Land.
The 7th son of a 7th son
Aint the son of a prodigal man
There aint no saints in Lebanon
No sinners either, as far as I can see
I've been up and down these roads
All the way to Jericho
On up to Tyre, through Galilee
Still unsettled and still not free
Still unsettled and still not free
