"Desert" lyrics

I lived about a thousand lives
On my own
Been waiting on the rain to come
I was told
That I would see signs on the way home
But I can't see the road
I wish I knew then, I would be fighting
For the life that I chose

Now I'm in the middle of the desert and no one's here
And I've been searching for some water for days, I swear
Oh, I'm in the middle of the desert, oh
Oh, I'm lost, tryna find a way back home

Closing in, soul dryer than the desert sand
I done seen them bullets turn, take out better man
So I know they got no mercy upon me
Gotta know when I should hold 'em or fold it
Can't stay here, it don't feel like home
No love outside, make a heart turn cold
The things I've seen make a blind man lose hope
So I'm stranded here on this lonely road

Now I'm in the middle of the desert and no one's here
And I've been searching for some water for days, I swear
Oh, I'm in the middle of the desert, oh
Oh, I'm lost, tryna find a way back home
Tryna find a way back home on this lonely road
Now I'm in the middle of the desert and no one's here
Oh, I've been searching for some water for days, I swear
Oh, I'm in the middle of the desert, oh
Oh, I'm lost, tryna find a way back home

I need some hope, hope now
Hope, hope now
Oh, oh
Tell me something, I need some hope now

Now I'm in the middle of the desert and no one's here
And I've been searching for some water for days, I swear
Oh, I'm in the middle of the desert, oh
Oh, I'm lost, tryna find a way back home
