Lyrics: Desert Breeze
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Met him on a morning drive, the sun broke through the haze,
Windows down, hair flying, I was done with yesterdays.
He laughed about his music room, I smiled at every word,
And somewhere in that laughter, my sleeping heart was stirred.
[Pre-Chorus]
The wind was talking softly, said “Girl, you’re still alive.”
I felt my fears unravel underneath that Phoenix sky.
We’re driving through the desert,
under the prettiest arrays of skies,
From Tucson to Phoenix, and all the way to Sedona.
[Chorus]
We’ve got the top put down, the sun is shining, I feel alive again,
Just like the rebirth of the Phoenix rising.
Oh desert breeze, lift me higher,
There’s fire in my soul and light in my eyes.
I’ve been lost, I’ve been chained to pain,
But I’m dancing again in the Phoenix rain.
Oh desert breeze, don’t you fade away,
I found my heartbeat in the heat of the day.
[Verse 2]
He said he’s seen the darkness, I said I’ve seen it too,
Two broken hearts in daylight learning what love can do.
He took my hand so gently, like he already knew,
That every scar I carried was proof I made it through.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
The road kept singing softly, “You’re stronger than before.”
Every mile behind us made me feel it more.
[Chorus]
We’ve got the top put down, the sun is shining, I feel alive again,
Just like the rebirth of the Phoenix rising.
Oh desert breeze, lift me higher,
There’s fire in my soul and light in my eyes.
I’ve been lost, I’ve been chained to pain,
But I’m dancing again in the Phoenix rain.
Oh desert breeze, don’t you fade away,
I found my heartbeat in the heat of the day.
[Bridge]
All those nights I cried alone,
Now the sky feels like my own.
Every tear became a spark,
Every ending lit the dark.
He’s my calm, my spark, my song,
I finally know where I belong.
[Final Chorus]
Oh desert breeze, lift me higher,
There’s fire in my soul and light in my eyes.
I’ve been lost, I’ve been chained to pain,
But I’m dancing again in the Phoenix rain.
Oh desert breeze, carry me home,
To the love I’ve waited for, to a heart of my own.
[Outro]
Underneath that Phoenix sky,
I breathe again — I’m alive.
Desert breeze, don’t let me go,
I’m finally free, I’m finally whole.
