Desert Home

[Intro] Dust on boots, a horizon that won’t quit A sun-boned road where trails forget to sit [Verse 1] Sand stings bright, like a fire in the throat of noon Heat climbs the air, a slow, patient monsoon I count the grains, one heartbeat at a time Shadows thin into a line of prayer and rhyme [Pre-Chorus] Mirage smiles, a pulse in the heat’s white glare A whisper says, keep walking, keep listening there [Chorus] I’m chasing home through a desert of light Where oases burn softly in the heat of night Hope is a thread that unravels the miles Guiding my steps with quiet, stubborn smiles [Verse 2] Dunes drift like sails across a waking sky The sun’s a compass turning patience into sighs I taste the salt of sweat on dry, dusty lips Hear crickets hum in rusted, distant skiffs [Pre-Chorus] Mirage fades, then returns with a kinder face A promise that dawn will find me in its grace [Chorus] I’m chasing home through a desert of light Where oases burn softly in the heat of night Hope is a thread that unravels the miles Guiding my steps with quiet, stubborn smiles [Bridge] Footprint by footprint, the map becomes a prayer The wind keeps the rhythm, the sun keeps me aware [Chorus] I’m chasing home through a desert of light Where oases burn softly in the heat of night Hope is a thread that unravels the miles Guiding my steps with quiet, stubborn smiles [Outro] Soon the line of trees will rise from the gleam Home is a whisper tucked inside the dream
