The earth is what loves me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what feeds me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what gives me
The earth is my lover.
 
Desert view is what thrills me
Dry earth is what loves me
Desert heat is what thrills me
Desert earth is what feeds me
Hot sand is what dries me
The desert is my love.
 
The mesa view, the cactus
The desert is what thrills me
Dry powder is what loves me
Rich sand is what thrills me
Glowing orb in the desert
The desert sets me free.
 
The earth is what loves me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what feeds me
The earth is what thrills me
The earth is what gives me
The desert feeds my soul.
