Love Across The Salt Desert
Sand and salt everywhere,
And not a drop of sea,
Hot as hot is possible,
And nowhere left to be
These three years of drought,
Have brought hunger and pain,
I miss you so much my love,
More than this desert misses rain
Shades of brown everywhere,
Not a green patch one can see,
But your love grows in my heart,
Green as green could be
To reach you my dear,
To everyone I lied,
With thirst across the desert,
I tried, tried and tried
I knew you would be waiting,
For me to come your way,
So I walked beneath the scorching sun,
While others made hay
I crossed the borders for you,
With tons of hurdles to face,
I forgot all the pain when,
I was lost in your embrace
I stole you from your land,
And took you to where I belong,
You brought the showers with you,
Which were awaited for so long
My people will never forget you,
Coz for them you were a boon,
You’ll be praised for what you are,
Till the sun shines on the moon
My love for you will stay the same,
I promise you this today,
And may we never part again,
To God, for this I pray
