After seven years of drought, the winter of 2015-16 brought abundant precipitation to the Eastern Sierra. Wild flowers everywhere,
cactus flowers seen only once in 50 years, bloomed.
lyrics
Desert Comes Back to Life Pete Watercott 2017
Chorus:
Just like Lazarus, the desert come back to life,
Just like Lazarus, the desert come back to life,
That bad ole drought went so long
Left the earth parched and dry,
Just like Lazarus, the desert come back to life!
The skeletons of plants, like bones bleached in the sand,
The skeletons of plants, like bones bleached in the sand,
Now they’re burstin with new growth,
Wild flowers paint the land,
The skeletons of plants, and now they’re green and grand.
She rabbit to the He rabbit, time for bunny love,
She rabbit to the He rabbit, time for bunny love,
There is so much lush green bunny food,
Thank the lord above,
She rabbit to the He rabbit, time for bunny love.
Roadrunner racing by, he likes to eat and run,
Roadrunner racing by, he likes to eat and run,
Just a moment you will see him,
Blink and he is gone,
Roadrunner racing by, he likes to eat and run.
Rattlesnake samba dance, they like that shaker sound,
Rattlesnake samba dance, they like that shaker sound,
When you hear that rattle
It’s best to look around,
Rattlesnake samba dance, they like that shaker sound.
L.A. City Man, he don’t know what to do,
L.A. City Man, he don’t know what to do,
First he take all the water
Now it just might drown him too,
L.A. City Man, he don’t know what to do,
