40 Years in the Desert

Verse 1: Started walking in 1989 Chasing mirages and borrowed time Every oasis turned to sand Still I'm searching for the promised land Chorus: 40 years in the desert, learning how to thirst 40 years in the desert, blessed and cursed Moses knew this feeling well Between the promise and the hell Verse 2: Mama's gone, daddy too Carrying their dreams like morning dew Consultant life from town to town Building kingdoms, tearing down (Repeat Chorus) Bridge: They say it takes this long to learn Which bridges not to burn The promised land ain't just a place It's finding God in empty space
