All alone in the desert
That is where my father left me
He shot a gun at my young brothers’ games
We came here for a picnic
but that was forgotten today
So I remembered that I am brave
I have the juice in case of misery
I am strong and I know my way
I tell myself to keep on goin’ today
A door in the desert
A sign awaits
The sun is tempting me to undress
Caught by the sun he gave me no shade
I asked the moon, please, give me a real bed to sleep in
There is an oasis just for us
Even in this heat we will survive
There is an oasis just for us
Even in this heat we will survive
Mirage of water, fruit and shade
It only lasted one dream before night
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?
I don’t know where I am,
I move with the clouds
In my arms, I carry love
It seems that I,
Just a child alone
Is indeed, a child no more
Big open sky
An endless road
Heat so thick
Hope dry as a bone
One day I’ll get there
But where is home?
Big open sky
And a child alone
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?
Is it a mirage
Will I survive
If it isn’t real
Is this how I die?
