Lyrics
Desert Sand
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You tell me there's no darkness
While the sun shines down on you
And just because your life is peaceful
There's no fighting left to do
For every cup that runneth over
Many more are filled with pain
You talk to me of sunshine
When it's pouring down with rain
Just because you can't see it
Doesn't mean it isn't there
Just because it can't touch you
Doesn't mean you shouldn't care
For every life that's lit with love
Many more are racked with pain
You talk to me of sunshine
When it's pouring down with rain
It's a long black night, good people
Descended on our land
Share your light
Make a flower grow
In the desert sand
