“The Sand in Our Hands”

She raised her eyes up to the sky
Caressed the earth beneath her feet.
She held her flower pedals open.
To ask her heart: “What do You Need”?

Chorus:
And the Sand in Our hands holds all of the answers.
We are Wind. We are Fire.
We are Land, We are Sea.
We must surrender to the stardust as it slips thru our fingers.
No matter what the question may be.

He held his soul up to the anvil.
And He struck with all his might.
He screamed “No pressure. No diamond.”
He asked his soul: “How do I make it right?

Chorus

It’s all over till the next star hits.
It’s all over till annihilation comes.
It’s all over. There’s nothing to do with it.
But sing a chorus of alleluia.
Oh, Alleluia. Oh Alleluia.
Alleluia. Alleluia.

Chorus

They held their feet up to the fire.
They felt the crackle. Felt the burn.
They watched their bodies turn to embers.
They asked their ashes: “What have we to learn?

Chorus
