[Verse 1] Golden chains and palace walls, a prince without a throne I rode into the burning sand to face the dark alone But shackles found my wrists that night, your shadow caught my fall A captive in a stranger's land, yet somehow standing tall [Pre-Chorus] You spoke of lands beyond the dunes, of oceans I had never seen You carved a door into my cage where freedom used to be a dream [Chorus] And I'm your desert rose, blooming where the wind blows Thorns and petals intertwined, your heart beats against mine Through the fire, through the storm, in your arms I am reborn I'm your desert rose, and I will never let you go [Verse 2] You asked me what a prince could give to pay for liberty I gave you more than gold that night beneath the starlit sea The sand became our sacred bed, the moon our only light Two lonely souls collided there and burned away the night [Pre-Chorus] I learned your scars, you learned my name, we traded pain for something true The bandit and the broken prince, I found my home in you [Chorus] And I'm your desert rose, blooming where the wind blows Thorns and petals intertwined, your heart beats against mine Through the fire, through the storm, in your arms I am reborn I'm your desert rose, and I will never let you go [Bridge] They said the sand forgets the rain, the desert kills the weak But roses grow in barren lands for those who dare to seek You gave me wings when I had none, you taught me how to fly And now I'll follow you until the day the oceans dry [Verse 3] Your brother breathes, the gold is spent, the road goes on and on A family of thieves and ghosts, but I have finally won No crown upon my head tonight, just dust and endless sky But every sunrise feels like home when I'm standing by your side [Chorus] And I'm your desert rose, blooming where the wind blows Thorns and petals intertwined, your heart beats against mine Through the fire, through the storm, in your arms I am reborn I'm your desert rose, and I will never let you go [Outro] Never let you go My bandit, my salvation, my home Underneath the burning stars I am yours And you are mine Forever Desert rose
