I Wander the Desert Alone

In search for riches, in search for fame, In search for glory, to wipe out my shame, In search for a sit in the hall of fame, To eliminate the suffering standing on my name. In search for silver, in search for gold, In search for diamond that makes a man bold, In search for wisdom and truth untold, To conquer the lies and stories of old. I walked the desert not leaving behind an ink, And in the oasis, grasses begged for a drink, The face of the sun frowned at the sands, Bruising my flesh, burning my hands. I took my courage and left my phone, I thirst for adventure and left my zone, Barren to patience, pregnant for lust, I wander the desert alone not minding the cost.
