A few years ago, I covered Rivers in the Desert from Persona 5, and now, after finishing Persona 5 Royal (which was an absolute blast!), I knew I had to give this song the update it deserved!
I've gone back, refined the mix, and polished everything up for an even better listening experience. And this time, it's not just on YouTube—I'll be releasing it on Spotify, Apple Music, and more!
Thank you for your support, Ribbiters! I hope you enjoy this refreshed version as much as I enjoyed making it. Let me know what you think when it drops! 🐸🎤

Lyrics
It's now or it's never, and I've got to
Make my decision
This time it could be my moment
Is this a mirage or a chance to fulfill my mission?
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
I'm keeping the balance, but I'm standing
On razor's edge now
Move quick or my life is over
One strike, just a feint, then...
I'm outta his field of vision
Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready to
Strike him down now
A chance at a new start
There's no time for indecision
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it:
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
My heart is a furnace
Hot as hell in my world of conflict
One goal’s what keeps me going
Take back what I lost to...
The bosses of greed and fear, yeah
Don't ask why I'm ready but I'm ready, to take
Them down now
The time for a new start
Is constantly drawing nearer
A river in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it:
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for:
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
When a cool drop of water's all I need
Gotta clear my head of anger and greed
A place to refresh, heart and mind
Can I find
Some time in
Rivers in a dry land
The last ace in a lost hand
When the hope of new beginnings burned our feet
Now we need it
A heartbeat for a tin man
Oasis in a singed land
Remind us what we're here for
Creating new life
Creating rivers in the desert
