[Intro] [Verse 1] Dust on the dashboard, miles to go The highway hums so sweet and low A red rock canyon, a painted sky I’m watching the ghosts of the past drive by We ran from the city, we ran from the noise Looking for silence, looking for a voice Out in the barren, where the wild winds sweep I’m finding the promises I couldn’t keep And the earth is cracked And my throat is dry But I look to the east And I see the light [Chorus] Desert bloom, opening wide A patch of green on the mountainside You find your faith where the rivers dry Underneath the magnificent, open sky Desert bloom, in the heart of the stone You are not alone. [Verse 2] Joshua trees standing like priests Praying for rain for the broken beasts I walked through the fire, I walked through the sand To find some kind of peace in this empty land A shimmering heatwave, a mirage of home But I’m shedding my skin right here to the bone And the earth is cracked And my throat is dry But I look to the east And I see the light [Chorus] Desert bloom, opening wide A patch of green on the mountainside You find your faith where the rivers dry Underneath the magnificent, open sky [Bridge] Water from a stone... Blood from a rose... Where the highway ends... That’s where the spirit grows. [Chorus] Desert bloom, opening wide! A patch of green on the mountainside! You find your faith where the rivers dry! Underneath the magnificent, open sky! [Outro] In the desert bloom. Bloom. [End]
