Desert Rain

The city lights are bright but I can’t see the stars at night

And too many chemicals inside, are the wrong kind

I’ve stumbled my whole life

If you don’t believe me you’re not right

And I feel my soul is not a flight

 

You showed me courage and self-control

You let me see that these are possible, and

I love you like I can’t explain

And I’ll miss you, like Desert Rain

 

I’ve been searching for some kind of peace of mind

Held back by the baggage of a life that is unkind

Even my babes have suffered, why is it meant to be

And if God were alive, I’d hope he’d walk with me

 

You showed me courage and self-control

You’ve let me see that these are possible, and

I love you like I can’t explain

And I’ll miss you, like Desert Rain

 

To assert and venting on my own

I got the feelings I had before

If there’s no easy way to say goodbye, we shouldn’t stay

Even went for fifteen years, you were captured by a spell

You broke off free and turned it around

In that special event

 

You showed me courage and self-control

You’ve let me see that these are possible, and

I love you like I can’t explain

And I’ll miss you, like Desert Rain

 

You the beacon and me the boat

And we’re searching for the whole planets float, and

We are suffering; never see a cent to rest

And peace is the token, inside the treasure chest

 

You showed me courage and self-control

You’ve let me see that these are possible, and

I love you like I can’t explain

And I’ll miss you, like Desert Rain
