Grains of Sand

Forgive me father, for I have sinned

I have fallen on my knees again

I thought I knew my right from wrong

Temptation, too strong

Was I a good man

Playing by the rules?

Or just another sailor

On that ship of fools

Who knows

What tomorrow’s gonna’ bring

Oh I lost everything

Cause I’ve been chasing rainbows

Counting grains of sand

I’ve been climbing mountains

Trying to find out who I am

I’ve crossed the ocean

Sailed the seven seas

But the dream is over

And I’m still begging on my knees

Beggin’ on my knees

On my knees

Still beggin’ on my knees

I’ve been searching

Searching for my soul

Lost in transit

Trying to find my goal

Searching for treasures I could never find

In the dusty canyons of my mind

‘Cause I’ve been chasing rainbows

Counting shooting stars

I’ve been climbing mountains

Trying to see if from afar

I’ve crossed the ocean

Sailed the seven seas

But the dream is over

And I’m still begging on my knees

On my knees

Beggin’ on my knees

That I can find forgiveness

See that mercy pouring down like rain

Beggin’ on my knees

Now that the dream is over

And I can’t bring it back again

I’ve been chasing rainbows

Counting shooting stars

I’ve been climbing mountains

Trying to see it from afar

I’ve crossed the ocean

Sailed the seven seas

But when the dream is over

I’m still begging on my knees

Beggin on my knees

On my knees

Still beggin on my knees

On my knees

Still beggin on my knees

On my knees

On my knees
