When my life is still and hot,
Emotions can weigh me down,
Feelings can tire me out,
And my goals seem unreachable,
When I feel lost in a greater space,
When no one is around,
Like I'm trapped in an oven,
With the sun beaming down,
When all my joy flows away,
Like water down a stream,
I'm left in this dessert of life,
Left alone to die,
Somehow I can keep on,
Stumbling in the searing heat,
Looking for an end and clinging to,
To some mad hope of mine,
You hit me like a tidal wave,
Suspending me inside your cool,
I was below the surface,
And I had no need for air,
In you I relax,
Unto you I expose,
All the evil inside me,
And the pain my body knows,
Your aura and peace,
Brought me sweet respite,
Like a breaze across my face,
Or the cool wind in my heart,

When my life is still and hot,
Emotions can weigh me down,
Feelings can tire me out,
And my goals seem unreachable,
When I feel lost in a greater space,
When no one is around,
Like I'm trapped in an oven,
With the sun beaming down,
When all my joy flows away,
Like water down a stream,
I'm left in this dessert of life,
Left alone to die,
Somehow I can keep on,
Stumbling in the searing heat,
Looking for an end and clinging to,
To some mad hope of mine,
You hit me like a tidal wave,
Suspending me inside your cool,
I was below the surface,
And I had no need for air,
In you I relax,
Unto you I expose,
All the evil inside me,
And the pain my body knows,
Your aura and peace,
Brought me sweet respite,
Like a breaze across my face,
Or the cool wind in my heart,
