Grains of Sand (original song)

Recorded, mixed and mastered at home.

LYRICS:

Everybody's trying
To be somebody else
Trying to be something more
And end up being less

Holding up a hand
In a sea of sand
Praying for the rain
But every day's the same

An echo in the dark
A lonely little spark
Head upon the windowsill

Hear the clock tick tock
Crack its final knock
Now it's standing still

Pre-Chorus:
There's a shadow on the broken line
Ticking away our time
I've given up all of my pride
Just to take a peek inside

Chorus:
I am alive
Just a soul in time
A grain of sand
Upon the wasteland

I am whole
Out of control
A spark in space
Among the human race

Out on the run
But under your thumb
I am broken but I am one

Hold up a gun
Time to have some fun
Walk though the dark straight into the sun

Everybody's dying
Losing faith in who they were
And everybody's crying
Because their tears are not their own

Just like a wanderer
Watch it all unfold
I'm way over yonder
Past the lives they've sold

Screaming at the sky
Hold your hands up high
Oh, God just give me a sign

Keep me locked up inside
I'll go along for the ride
Can't see through to the other side
