My throat is burning there's dust in my eyes
My body's weak, I'm feeling paralysed
I'm sitting in the desert storm
The sun is dark, hidden by sand
I cannot believe that this was my land
I'm sitting in the desert storm
Where I'm sitting now there was a river before
When I was a child but it's not there anymore
I'm sitting in the desert storm
The forest has gone where we used to play
They had put it down to build a motorway
I'm sitting in the desert storm
Nobody thought it would go so far
We have been warned but we didn't care
We're sitting in the desert storm
We can't go back to former times
We had a good life but we missed the signs
We're sitting in the desert storm
We're sitting in the desert storm
We're sitting in the desert storm
We're sitting in the desert storm
