Desert

Walking alone
on a desert plain

this isolation
driving me insane

I'm cold
despite the heat

the sand
burns in my feet

I'm afraid
of what lies behind

they say that i've
betrayed my kind

I drive on
despite the wind

pushing forward
though i've sinned

Now there's someone
up ahead

someone
who's also bled

Her sunshine hair
fights the storm

the love she has
i feel so warm

Completely engulfed
by her touch

this astounding love
i feel so much

She draws me in
to share her coat

and now we rise
begin to float

This love carries us
away from here

out of the desert
away from fear.
