Mirage in the Desert – Global Soft Rock + Pop Ballad Hit | Sea Official Lyrics

I left behind a quiet home,

For dreams of gold, I roam alone.

Under burning skies, a boundless sea,

In a land of mirage, calling to me.

(Oh no!)

Every step, the sand slips away,

Chasing stars by night, suns by day.

In a shimmered haze, I lose my way,

Finding riches that fade to gray.

(Mmm…)

(Piano and Acoustic Guitar with three-part harmony, gentle reverb on backing vocals)

Mirage in the desert, dancing far,

A promise like fire, like a fallen star.

(Whoa!)

Just a touch away, but it fades like dust,

In this dream I chase, who can I trust?

(Oh!)

Then, the ship of light, there it lies,

Doors to dreams, unknown skies.

A button pressed, my fate rewinds,

Lives and loves, in endless binds.

(Uh-huh!)

Mirage in the desert, so close yet far,

Like a fire in the night, like a fading star.

Every life I touch, slips through my hand,

Just a dream in dust, a promised land.

(Oh my god!)

But every love, and every throne,

Is an echo here, of my home.

(Mmm-hmm)

I fight and fly, yet I stand alone,

Where all I seek was already known.

(Phew!)

Through every life, I hold, then I lose,

Fame, fire, fortune—none I choose.

Running and chasing, I'm lost in a race,

Desert sands fade, gone without trace.

(Hey, hey!)

Dreams turn to dust in a blink, a sigh,

Yet I chase on, till I see the sky.

(Let's go!)

Mirage in the desert, calling me,

A world of treasures, yet I'm not free.

(Whoa!)

And in the sand, all shadows blend,

To find myself, I reach the end.

(Oh yeah!)

So I rise from dust, and let dreams go,

To arms that wait, to love I know.

(Yeah, yeah!)

For the world's not gold, nor bright and bold,

But in hearts that hold, it's worth more than gold.

(Ahh…)

"In the desert's end, I found my start,

Home was the treasure deep in my heart."

(Wow!)
