Every Grain Of Sand |
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need |
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed |
There’s a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere, |
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair. |
Don’t have the inclination to look back on any mistake, |
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break. |
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master’s hand |
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand. |
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear, |
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer. |
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way |
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay. |
I gaze into the doorway of temptation’s angry flame |
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name. |
Then onward in my journey I come to understand |
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand. |
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night |
In the violence of a summer’s dream, in the chill of a wintry light, |
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space, |
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face. |
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea |
Sometimes I turn, there’s someone there, other times it’s only me. |
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man |
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand. |
