lyrics

DREAMS IN THE DESERT

There are dreams in the desert
Hope on the highway, a rough rocky road ahead
Promise in passion, faith in the fallen
Religion for when you are dead

Chorus
You pray, you dream, you beg, you plead
But it don’t change a thing
You want, you need, you give,, you bleed
But it don’t come so easy
It’s the same ol’ story

There are feelings of failure and down-right depression
Choices and chances to take
Wisdom in winning, lonely in losing
And fortune that can fall either way
