[Verse 1: Jon Foreman]
Dylan on that speaker warning
He not busy being born is dying
God, I wanna be reborn
I swear my failure ain't for lack of trying

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Foreman]
My broken history decomposes
But it's a part of me that's pushing up roses

[Chorus: Jon Foreman]
I'm a desert in bloom
I'm a desert in bloom

[Verse 2: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
The wind is torn, the world's at war
But the butterflies in me keep death defying
Dandelion seeds are borne
And all my favorite dreams are when I'm flying

[Pre-Chorus: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
I see the chrysalis going through changes
But every transformation comes in phases

[Chorus: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
I'm a desert in bloom
I'm a desert in bloom
[Bridge: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
Lеt the pain be for a reason
Thеre's a time and there's a season and I want to see this through
I'm a desert in bloom

[Verse 3: Jon Foreman]
Yesterday's tomb, tomorrow's womb
The dark is long but the dawn is soon
The light that you seek is seeking you
Let the dead seed go and watch it grow brand-new

[Chorus: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
I'm a desert in bloom
I'm a desert in bloom

[Outro: Jon Foreman & Joy Oladokun]
Let the hard times make me wiser
My failures fertilizer for the flowers on my tomb
I'm a desert in bloom
