Lessons From the Desert

Verse 1

I walked where the sand forgets the rain

Where the sun writes stories in every grain

No waves to lull, no tides to pull

Just the hush of heat and a sky so full

Verse 2

The ocean sings in endless blue

But the desert whispers what’s truly true

It taught me thirst, it taught me grace

How to honor every drop I taste

Chorus

The desert teaches more about water

Than the ocean ever could

It makes you wait, it makes you wonder

It makes you treat it like you should

No abundance, no illusion

Just the sacred, slow pursuit

The desert teaches more about water

Than the ocean ever could

Verse 3

I found a well beneath a stone

Not deep, not wide, but it felt like home

And I drank like it was holy wine

Each sip a prayer, each breath divine

Bridge

The ocean gives without a thought

But the desert asks what you’ve forgot

To listen close, to walk with care

To find the gift that isn’t there

Final Chorus

The desert teaches more about water

Than the ocean ever could

It makes you kneel, it makes you honor

Every ripple, every flood

No abundance, no illusion

Just the sacred, slow pursuit

The desert teaches more about water

Than the ocean ever could
