[Verse]
D G D G
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
D G A Asus4 A
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
D G D G
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
D G A Asus4 A
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair.
[Bridge]
A A7 D A
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
A A7 D | A G |
Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
[chorus]
D G D G
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
D G A A7sus4 | D | % |
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
[Verse]
D G D G
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
D G A Asus4 A
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good cheer.
D G D G
The sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
D G A Asus4 A
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
[Bridge]
A A7 D A
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
A A7 D | A G |
And every time I pass that way, I always hear my name.
[Chorus]
D G D G
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
D G A A7sus4 | D | % |
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
[Solo]

D G D G
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
D G A7 A7sus4 A7
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
D G D G
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
D G A7 A7sus4 A7
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
[Bridge]
A A7 D A
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
A A7 D | A G |
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
[Chorus]
D G D G
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
D G A A7sus4 | D | % |
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
