I was born in the desert In the year of the flood In the city of the temple Bathed in blood I've walked through fire I've shed my skin I know where I'm going I'm ready to begin You tell me I'm too late You tempt me to walk away I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside Nothing to show for how hard I've tried It's not in vain It's gonna rain I'm just getting started Not going down I've come this far I won't turn around A voice in me rages A noiseless shout Silently screaming Let me out, let me out You tell me I'm too late You tempt me to walk away I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside Nothing to show for how hard I've tried It's not in vain It's gonna rain I've died the little death of a thousand little cuts I resurrected, rose from the dust Wandering the desert searching for a dream I finally found who I was born to be You tell me I'm too late You tempt me to walk away I'm pushing this boulder up the mountainside Nothing to show for how hard I've tried It's not in vain It's gonna rain I was born in the desert I was born in the desert I was born in the desert
