Lyrics Wilderness - Carrio Xanders

You ever woke up in the middle of a desert
Famished
Clueless, don't know what your next move is
You're in shambles
For the first time, you prayed for a wilderness
Instead of a desert
'Cos you can cultivate a jungle of thorns
A better way to expend your effort
So you look to the east
And you followed the sun
You don't know where it's taking you
But you're prepared to go on
You come from a clan of warriors
And your sign is an elephant
You were raised among hustlers
Now that knowledge is relevant
If I made it through Noah's flood
Bet this drought can do me no harm
And if I made it through the slave ships
I refuse to die in a foreign land
God's blessings come in different ways
Sometimes it's a fire flame
Sometimes the bonds won't form
Till he heats you up like a diamond
So I'm grateful for the pleasure
Grateful for the pain
Grateful for the pressure
Grateful for the gain
And I will rid myself of every bitterness
'Cos you were right there
When I walked through the wilderness

I'll keep you safe
When you walk through the wilderness
How ever far your hope is
Remember love is endless
Your spark will shine through
Darkness will turn into light

Won't let the story go untold
Of how unknown metals turn into gold
For through the power of fire and the fury of a hammer
Is a man transformed into a hero from a coward
If you ain't lived through the shush
Don't show up for the bang
You can't bask in the yin
Then choose to ignore the yang
See, life is a balance
Don't try to tip the scales
'Cause you will certainly find peace
In the middle of the chaos
We all weep the same tears, but what do we make of it
Each to his own adversity, what do you make of yours
While you failed at your job
Somebody lost a child
It was hard for you to notice it
Because she wore a smile
Then somebody else lost her husband and a daughter
On the same day she had to deal with a mother
Who was trying to steal from her
And rip her off her quarters
Nobody's safe from it
In case you're curious
Cos everybody has
Their own wilderness

I'll keep you safe
When you walk through the wilderness
How ever far your hope is
Remember love is endless
Your spark will shine through
Darkness will turn into light
