Looking at the sky weariness on his face
The priest prays with deep faith
He thinks about past in persecution times
But now run away to find peace someday
Desert fathers, in love with God, live in loneliness
From the middle east to the roman empire

Wise of thought, wise of the soul
Something to say to light the way
Pride is a sin so your mistakes need meditation
They said, desert fathers

Abba nesterios in memory
The daily word wards off bad thoughts
The devil defies God
Lost on his own throne
Run away, move to the desert

The loneliness doesn’t mean you’re sad
It's just a way
It must be a refuge to find yourself
And there’s no nothing to say

Circumstances push us into a desert
No strength just wanting to run away
The devil with the evil spear
He wants to get you out of the desert
He just wants to weaken you

The loneliness doesn’t mean you’re sad
It's just a way
It must be a refuge to find yourself
And have nothing to say
The loneliness doesn’t mean I'm sad
It's just my way
I must take refuge to find myself
And I have nothing to say

Looking at the sky weariness on his face
The priest prays with deep faith
He thinks about past
