FatimaThe Alchemist

[Verse 1] Time stood still, the desert hushed, when I first saw her face Dark eyes that held the universe, a beauty and a grace. Beside the well, she drew the water, sunlight in her hair A vision of serenity, beyond all compare. The language of the world spoke clear, a truth I couldn't hide In this oasis of my heart, love opened wide. [Chorus] Fatima, my desert rose, a love that sets me free She understands the journey, the path I'm meant to be. No chains, no binding promises, just faith and open hands A love that echoes through the stars, across the shifting sands. [Verse 2] I tell her of my shepherd life, the fields of gold and green Of kings and crystal shops, and all that I have seen. She listens with a quiet strength, a wisdom in her gaze And I know this love is different, than all my passing days. She speaks of desert women, their patience and their pride Waiting for their men to return, with nowhere left to hide. [Chorus] Fatima, my desert rose, a love that sets me free She understands the journey, the path I'm meant to be. No chains, no binding promises, just faith and open hands A love that echoes through the stars, across the shifting sands. [Bridge] She says, "The desert takes our men, and sometimes they don't return But their spirits live forever, a lesson we must learn. They become the clouds, the water, the soul of everything And if you're truly part of my dream, one day you'll come back again. Maktub" [Chorus] Fatima, my desert rose, a love that sets me free She understands the journey, the path I'm meant to be. No chains, no binding promises, just faith and open hands A love that echoes through the stars, across the shifting sands. [Outro] Fatima... My love... Maktub...
