Story Behind The Song

This song is about the journey life takes us on and how it can transform who we are. Our experiences can cause us to become jaded and lose our innocence, while our passion can drive us to self destruction. The human spirit is strong, though, and drives us to seek rebirth and a new start.

Song Description

Acoustic guitar and low vocal build to a powerful chorus with a haunting melody of redemption. Song has a classic American feel similar to a mid-tempo Eagles' song.

Lyrics

Desert Rain
Written by Charles D'SIMONE

It seems like the simplest solution
Is always the best answer
I don't know too much about the weather
But I thought I knew what I was after
But things have a way of happening
Three turns on a road to nowhere now
I've seen to much I am afraid
To ever feel that way again

Did you trade
Your heart to be free
Did you think that it would
Come so easily

[Chorus]
Desert rain fall on me
Wash away everything
Make me new like I was born yesterday
Oh, oh desert rain

And if I don't get my hands dirty
I'm an innocent bystander
But how can I sleep with this tonight
My eyes are open now I know
Some things get better with time
But some things just tear you apart
And if I had hands that could heal
I'd heal this broken heart

But don't wait
I might take my time
Because this is not your walk
This is mine

[Chorus]
Desert rain fall on me
Wash away everything
Make me new like I was born yesterday
Oh, oh desert rain

Tied up in chains I made myself
I feel a hard wind blowing
A heart that burns with pure desire
I am consumed by the fire
Oh desert rain
Oh desert rain

[Chorus]
Desert rain fall on me
Wash away everything
Make me new like I was born yesterday
Oh, oh desert rain
