[Verse] The sand whispers secrets to the moon tonight A caravan of dreams lost in fading light I chase the wind but it slips through my hand No footprints left in this shifting land [Chorus] Dance with the mirage It’s all that I see The closer I get The further it flees Under the stars Where the rhythm's free I’m lost in the desert But it’s calling me [Verse 2] A shadow of longing moves across the dunes The oud plays a story Ancient as the ruins Golden horizons melt into the sky Where every heartbeat asks the question why [Prechorus] The drum says run The strings say stay Which one wins? Depends on the day [Chorus] Dance with the mirage It’s all that I see The closer I get The further it flees Under the stars Where the rhythm's free I’m lost in the desert But it’s calling me [Bridge] Echoes of voices They rise and they fall A prayer to the wind It answers us all Afro rhythms pounding A heartbeat so wild Arabesk strings weeping like a mourning child
