Desert Dream

Dark, thick dust storms everywhere,
The wind blew sand into my hair,
The smell of danger's in the air,
Prepare for the worst.

My heart went down like an airplane,
Now stranded in a cruel terrain,
Where the earth is dry and there is no rain,
No rain at all.

At night I dream of a desert land,
And find I'm drowning in the sand.
Hour glass upon my bed side stand,
Running with the second hand,
Keep close what you love,
Keep fears even closer.

Days down the road and the outlooks dim,
Just like the sun as the clouds roll in,
My heart and skin burned by the wind,
Gotta' get up again.

I struggle daily to survive,
The sand eats hearts like mine alive,
Many have come this way to die,
But it's not over yet.

At night I dream of a desert land,
And find I'm drowning in the sand.
Hour glass upon my bed side stand,
Running with the second hand,
Keep close what you love,
Keep fears even closer.
