Do It Yourself (Desert Song)

Melanie Safka

Compositor: Mike Heron

I had to stop short, oh I was lying even to myself
I had to own up, I was losing all the shine that I had
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

I had to stop short, oh I was lying even to myself
I had to own up, I was losing all the shine that I had
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to
It ain't easy sometimes to see where you're goin' to

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

The is a desert where no life does move
There is a darkness where no light does shine
Nobody can take your first step out of there
You gotta do it yourself
You gotta do it yourself

You gotta do it yourself
