    Eb MajorEb      AbAb       Eb MajorEb         AbAb
In the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
     Eb MajorEb        AbAb      Bb majorBb
When the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
      Eb MajorEb       AbAb   Eb MajorEb        AbAb
There's a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere
 Eb MajorEb       AbAb        Bb majorBb
Toiling in the danger and in the morals of despair
    Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
Don't have the inclination to look back on any mistake
   Bb majorBb                Eb MajorEb         Bb majorBb AbAb
Like Cain
I now behold this chain of events that I must break
    Eb MajorEb     AbAb      Eb MajorEb        AbAb
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
  Eb MajorEb        AbAb     Bb majorBb   AbAb   Eb MajorEb
In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand
     Eb MajorEb     AbAb        Eb MajorEb       AbAb
Oh, the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear
    Eb MajorEb          AbAb         Bb majorBb
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good

Cheer
     Eb MajorEb       AbAb        Eb MajorEb        AbAb
And the sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
  Eb MajorEb        AbAb        Bb majorBb
To ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay
  Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb
I gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
  Bb majorBb              Eb MajorEb       Bb majorBb AbAb
And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
   Eb MajorEb      AbAb    Eb MajorEb      AbAb
Then onward in my journey I come to understand
   Eb MajorEb       AbAb      Bb majorBb   AbAb   Eb MajorEb
That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand

    Eb MajorEb        AbAb      Eb MajorEb      AbAb
I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
    Eb MajorEb      AbAb           Bb majorBb
In the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry
 Bb majorBb
Light
    Eb MajorEb       AbAb     Eb MajorEb      AbAb
In the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space
     Eb MajorEb       AbAb      Bb majorBb
In the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face
  Bb majorBb                 Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
   Bb majorBb                     Eb MajorEb       A augmentedA
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me
AbAb  Eb MajorEb       AbAb       Eb MajorEb     AbAb
I am hanging in the balance of the reality of man
   Eb MajorEb       AbAb      Bb majorBb   AbAb   Eb MajorEb
Like every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
