I walked alone beneath a dying sky
No sound, no crowd, just the echo of why
The sand cut deep, but I kept my pace
Every tear turned to dust on my face

No shelter here, no voices to please
Just the ghosts of my doubts on their knees
I tried to run, but the silence stayed
In the heat of truth, my mask decayed

You're not lost, you're being found
You're not broken, you're being crowned

No one leaves the desert unapproved
Every scar is the proof you've moved
Through the fire, through the night
You were never out of sight
No one leaves the desert unapproved
You're being shaped, not removed

I cursed the sky, I cursed the pain
But faith was whispering through the flame
The thirst I felt was more than need
It was my soul learning to bleed

I saw my pride fall to its knees
My ego burned with every breeze
But in that dust, I saw it clear
The grace I lost was always near

You're not dying, you're being made
You're not ending, you're being saved

No one leaves the desert unapproved
Every scar is the proof you've moved
Through the fire, through the night
You were never out of sight
No one leaves the desert unapproved
You're being shaped, not removed

Be still
Be changed
The desert isn't death, it's grace

No one leaves the desert unapproved
I was lost, but I found the truth
Tore my soul just to be renewed
Now I rise, refined, improved
No one leaves the desert unapproved
And I won't leave until I'm through
