The desert moon hangs low tonight
Spilling silver on the dusty trail
They whisper low by dried-up streams
I've walked these roads a thousand times
Still looking for a hand to hold
The canyon walls are closing in
My canteen’s light my boots are thin
But there's a fire I can't explain
That keeps me walking through the pain
They say the desert don't forgive
It takes your hope and lets you live
But I've found grace in the hard ground
In every fall in every wound
Dust and grace dust and grace
I leave my footprints on this wild space
No church no creed no saving song
Just the wind and me moving on
I've seen the ghost of broken dreams
But I don't stop I don't look back
The open sky keeps my heart intact
They say the desert don't forgive
It takes your hope and lets you live
But I've found grace in the hard ground
In every fall in every wound
Dust and grace dust and grace
I leave my footprints on this wild space
No church no creed no saving song
Just the wind and me moving on
When the stars forget to shine
I'll light a match I'll be the sign
Not for glory not for fame
Just to tell the dark my name
Dust and grace dust and grace
I leave my footprints on this wild space
No church no creed no saving song
Just the wind and me moving on
The dust settles and I walk into the night
