Tuning: E A D G B E
[Verse 1]
In the tAime of my confDession, in the hAour of my deepest nDeed
When the pAool of tears benDeath my feet flood Eevery newborn seed
There's a dAyin' voice withDin me rAeaching out somewhDere
TAoiling in the dDanger and in the mEorals of despair
[Refrain]
Don't hEave the inclinE7ation to look bAack on any mistEake
Like CEain, I now behE7old this chain of Aevents that I must brEeak D
In the fAury of the mDoment I can sAee the Master's hDand
In eAvery leaf that trDembles, in eEvery grain of sAand
[Verse 2]
Oh, the flAowers of indDulgence and the wAeeds of yesteryDear
Like crAiminals, they have chDoked the breath of cEonscience and good cheer
The sAun beat down upDon the steps of tAime to light the wDay
To Aease the pain of Didleness and the mEemory of decay
[Refrain]
I gEaze into the dE7oorway of temptAation's angry flEame
And eEvery time I pE7ass that way I Aalways hear my nEame D
Then oAnward in my joDurney I cGome to understDand
That Aevery hair is nDumbered like eEvery grain of sAand
[Verse 3]
I have gAone from rags to rDiches in the sAorrow of the nDight
In the vAiolence of a sDummer's dream, in the chEill of a wintry light
In the bAitter dance of lDoneliness fAading into spDace
In the brAoken mirror of Dinnocence on Eeach forgotten face
[Refrain]
I hEear the ancient fE7ootsteps like the mAotion of the sEea
SometEimes I turn, there's sE7omeone there, other tAimes it's only Eme D
I am hAanging in the bDalance of the rAeality of mDan
Like Aevery sparrow fDalling, like Eevery grain of sAand
