S.O.S, I'm a castaway
Tryna make it back home
Hope is far and I'm losing faith
Thirsting deep in my soul
I fell for the lies that they sold me
A mirage that left my spirits broken
Now I need You to show me I'm not on my own
I'm tired of wandering alone
I hear Your voice call me home
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that's in my lungs
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your grace
I need You and I'm unashamed
Breathe new life into my veins
Desesperado
I'm desperate, I confess, I'm a mess
And I'm finally here at the end of myself
Quería ser aventurero pero ya soy extranjero
And now I'm calling out for help
Tenía un pie en la tumba felt like I was doomed
But my failures, You turned around
Spoke to these dry bones, mis huesos secos
Guide me to You heart, my promise land
I'm tired of wandering alone
I hear Your voice call me home
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that's in my lungs (You're the air that I'm breathing)
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your grace
I need You and I'm unashamed
Breathe new life into my veins
Desesperado
There's only one way I'll pull through
If it's the last thing that I do
I will brave the driest desert if it leads me back to You
I'm laying down my pride, I'm giving You my life
Without You, I know I am
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your love
Nothing else will ever be enough
More than the air that's in my lungs
Desesperado
Oh, I'm desperate for Your grace
I need You and I'm unashamed
Breathe new life into my veins
Desesperado
You're the air that I'm breathing
Desesperado
I know I need You
Desesperado
Desesperado
