A D A Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake D A Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break D G D G In the fury of the moment I can see the master's hand D G A G D In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand. D G D G Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear D G 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 To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay. A D A I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame D A And every time I pass that way I always hear my name D G D G Then onward in my journey I come to understand D G A G D That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand. break D G D G I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night D G A 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 A In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face. A D A I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea D A Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me D G D G I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man D G A G D Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand.
