Desert Miles
• Written by Remotion
//Intro
Yeah
Ain’t no shortcuts out here
Uh
//Verse 1
Sun hang heavy like a question mark
No shade anywhere near my heart
Miles of nothing, but my thoughts loud
Desert don’t care if you break down
I been thirsty chasing things that shine
Mirages dressed up like divine
Thought it was water, it was pride
Had to learn the hard way just to survive
Footprints fade soon as you pass
Like praise don’t really last
Out here stripped of excess weight
You learn real quick what’s fake
//Hook
Desert miles, no applause
Just heat, faith, and the cost
If I make it through this alone
I know I’m strong enough to go home
Yeah, no rivers where I stand
Just grit in my teeth and sand
If I find peace in this land
I can live anywhere I am
//Verse 2
Days too long, nights too cold
Sky full stars, but answers low
Funny how quiet get so loud
When it’s just you and God around
I seen life grow where it shouldn’t be
Cactus blooming outta misery
Taught me beauty don’t need ease
Sometimes strength look sharp, not sweet
I shed layers I don’t need no more
Ego melt on the desert floor
Every loss just light my load
Make it easier to walk this road
//Hook
Desert miles, no applause
Just heat, faith, and the cost
If I make it through this alone
I know I’m strong enough to go home
Yeah, no rivers where I stand
Just grit in my teeth and sand
If I find peace in this land
I can live anywhere I am
//Bridge
Miracles don’t always pour
Sometimes they teach you endure
Water rare, but purpose clear
Keep moving even through the fear
//Verse 3
One day rain gonna hit this ground
Turn the dust to something profound
But even if it never come
I’ll still finish what I begun
Desert taught me how to wait
How to walk with heavy faith
If I survive when nothing grow
Imagine who I’ll be when it flow
//Outro
Yeah
Not every blessing feel good at first
Some just make you ready
