Db Bbm Db Bbm
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
Db Bbm Ab Absus Ab
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
Db Bbm Db Bbm
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Db Bbm Ab Asusb Ab
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
Ab7 Db Ab
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
Ab7 Db Ab
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
Db Bbm Ab Absus Db
In every leaf that trembles and, in every grain of sand.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Db Bbm Ab Absus
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good
Ab
cheer.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
Db Bbm Ab Absus Ab
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
Ab Ab7 Db Ab
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
Ab Ab7 Db Ab
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
Db Bbm Ab Db
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
Db Bbm Ab Absus Ab
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
Db Bbm Db Bbm
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
Db Bbm Ab Absus Ab
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
Ab Ab7 Db Ab
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Ab Ab7 Db Ab
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Db Bbm Db Bbm
I am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
Db Bbm Ab Db
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
