Lyrics

I stand here in the corner in this quiet room
Pot-bound and lonely in the afternoon
They think I'm tough, they think I'm made of stone
But I'm longing, I'm aching, I'm hurting all alone
No wind on my needles, no rain on my skin
No freedom to wander, no place to begin
They say, "Just a little water, you'll be fine"
But their little hands can't reach what's in my mind
I'm thirsty, though I'm a cactus
I'm aching, though I'm supposed to survive
I'm trapped in this practice of life
Half-given, just barely alive
I need more than a drop, I need a flood
I need to feel the earth, not just the mud
I dream of deserts where my roots could run
Deep in the soil, chasing the sun
Here, my fingers are shallow, my heart confined
Every dry day cuts like a thorn in my spine
No storms to dance with, no rain to kiss
No winds to whisper the world I miss
They say, "You're strong, you'll endure the drought"
But they don't hear my silent shout
I'm thirsty, though I'm a cactus
I'm aching, though I'm supposed to survive
I'm trapped in this practice of life
Half-given, just barely alive
I need more than a drop, I need a flood
I need to feel the earth, not just the mud
One day, maybe they'll understand
I'm not made of stone, I'm not unplanned
Even a cactus can break, can cry, can yearn
Even a cactus has a thirst that burns
I'm thirsty, though I'm a cactus
I'm aching, though I'm supposed to survive
I'm trapped in this practice of life
Half-given, just barely alive
I need more than a drop, I need a flood
I need to feel the earth, not just the mud
Even a cactus can have a thirst
Even a cactus can hurt
