The Desert and Me

Hey world, what a beautiful morning
Can't get me down even with a sandstorm warning
Among these dunes is where I'll thrive
And the warm sun makes me feel alive
Hey world, this little cactus is ready for anything

And it's just me, waiting for life to begin
So small and green, with a big old grin and

Oh, got my roots laid down
Oh, look at what's around
Oh, sand as far as the eye can see
Just the desert and me

Hey world, still here, still green
Sticking out like a sore thumb on this flat terrain
These lanky, long arms out on display
While my prickly spines get in the way
Hey world, will I be stuck here forever more?

And it's just me, stuck here from morning 'til night
Soaking in the Vitamin D, but I'm not feeling the light

Oh, got my roots laid down
Oh, look at what's around
Oh, sand as far as the eye can see
Just the desert and me

Hey world, step into my oasis
This spot in the desert is my most favorite of places
At night, I see the stars aglow
And the desert rains helps my flowers grow
And there's a little bird who made a home in me
And I love to dance in the gentle breeze
Hey world, can't you see that

Oh, got my roots laid down
Oh, there's magic flowing all around
Oh, beauty as far as the eye can see
Just the desert and me
