DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus SOL#
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
DO# SIbm SOL# LAsusb SOL#
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
SOL#7 DO# SOL#
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
SOL#7 DO# SOL#
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus DO#
In every leaf that trembles and, in every grain of sand.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good
SOL#
cheer.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus SOL#
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
SOL# SOL#7 DO# SOL#
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
SOL# SOL#7 DO# SOL#
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
DO# SIbm SOL# DO#
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus SOL#
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
DO# SIbm SOL# SOL#sus SOL#
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
SOL# SOL#7 DO# SOL#
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
SOL# SOL#7 DO# SOL#
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
DO# SIbm DO# SIbm
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
DO# SIbm SOL# DO#
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
