75 Grains Of Sand Lyrics by Sarah Masen

Carry Us Through

1998

[Verse 1]
Penny's got a new outlook this year
At least that's what she'd like to hear
Though I'd beg to differ
Because all is still the same back home (all is still the same)
Started with the world on fire last fall
Seems it was the spark of something small
That grew with conviction
A personal mission
[Chorus 1]
And what she wouldn't give
To hold them in her hands
Those seventy-five little grains of sand
[Verse 2]
April was a night of nothing new
But holding what she thought was true
Dawn only backwards
A sunset to start her day
And everything she used to choke at school
Swallowing the whole of untold rules
Filled with desire, all set on fire
[Chorus 2]
And what she wouldn't give
To hold them in her hands
Those seventy-five little grains of sand
A glimpse of the now
That would change the then
Those seventy-five little grains of sand
[Bridge]
And all is falling, quite undone
She's letting go, letting go, for what's to come
[Verse 3]
Hope sometimes can blind the heart
Calling light what breathes like dark
Mistaken provisions
Can lengthen the distance
And shatter our own visions, no, no, no
[Chorus 3]
What we wouldn't give
To hold them in our hands
Those seventy-five little grains of sand
A glimpse of the now
That would change the then
Those seventy-five little grains of sand
[Verse 4]
Mercy, sure thing
The tension is evidence that I'm alive and able to respond (the tension is evidence that I'm alive and able to respond)
To the movement of Spirit, the good, the terrible (to the movement of Spirit, the good, the terrible)
The movement of Spirit, the good, the terrible
The movement of Spirit, the good, the terrible (the movement of Spirit)
Mercy, I cannot see without closing my eyes (the movement of Spirit, the good, the terrible, the movement)
Must be a plot, must be a plot, must be a plot (75, 75, 75)
