[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
In the [D]time of my confession,
[G]in the hou[D]r of my deepest need
[G]When the [D]pool of tears be[G]neath my feet
that [A]flood every newborn seed
There's a [D]dyin' voice within [G]me
[D]reaching out som[G]ewhere
[D]Toiling in the dangers[G]
[A]and in the morals of despair

[Verse 2]
Don't [A]have the inclination to
look [D]back on any mistake
[A]Like Cain, I now behold this chain of
[D]events that I must [A]break[G][D]
In the fury of the mo[G]ment,
I [D]can see the Master's [G]hand
In [D]every leaf that [G]trembles,
in [A]every [G]grain of sand
[D]

[Verse 3]
Oh, the flowers of indul[G]gence and
the [D]weeds of [G]yesteryear
Like [D]criminals, they have [G]choked the breath
of [A]conscience and good cheer
The [D]sun beat down [G]upon the steps
[D]of time to light [G]the way
To [D]ease the pain of [G]idleness
and the [A]memory of decay
[D]I

[Verse 4]
[A]gaze into the doorway of
[D]temptation's angry [A]flame
And every time I pass that way I
[D]always hear my [A]name[G]
Then [D]on ward in my [G]journey I
[D]come to [G]understand
That [D]every hair [G]is numbered
like [A]every [G]grain of sand

[Verse 5]

[D][A][D][A][G]
[D]hav[A]e g[G]one[D] fr[G]om [D]rag[G]s t[A]o r[G]ich[D]es in the sorrow[G][D]
of [G]the night
In the [D]violence of a sum[G]mer's dream,
in the [A]chill of a wintry light
In the [D]bitter dance of [G]loneliness
[D]fading [G]into space
In the [D]broken mirror of inno
[G]cence on [A]each for[D]gotten [A]face

[Verse 6]
I [A]hear the ancient footsteps like
the [D]motion of [A]the sea
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there,
other [D]times it's only [A]me[G]
I am [D]hanging in the [G]balance of
[D]the reality of [G]man
[D]Like every sparrow [G]falling, like [A]every [G]grain of sand
