Roses in the Sand

All those people that you trusted, turned to liars and to thieves And the once you rejected, were the once to believe You left them standing in the shadows, out in the bitter cold They know it’s in the deepest desert, that’s where the strongest roses grow It’s the once who scream the loudest, they are the once to get fed first They grow up to be the fattest, but their hearts are dry of thirst Then there are those who don’t speak so much, cause they’ve heard it all before They know it’s in the deepest desert, that’s where the strongest roses grow Oh oh oh, there beyond the cold, where the eagles soar, far and close to home Oh oh oh, where it’s most remote For everything that I’ve acquired, there’s been a hidden price to pay Every blind wish and desire, has burned hard just to fade I used to want it to be simple, like it would fall into my hands Now I’m walking through the desert, looking for roses in the sand Oh oh oh way beyond the cold, where it’s most remote, where the eagles soar Oh oh oh deep inside the core.
