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