Grain Of Sand

From every grain of sand That falls from my hand Through my fingers to the ground To utter but not a sound, For like a Human life That pasted before my eyes To be here and then be gone Forgotten like yesterdays dawn. For like a grain of sand The Boy became a Man Who cries tears of His fate, For He knows for what Man did, Is from what Man had made. Though as being caught up in the air And being blown to who knows where For where we go, no man knows And where we die, is where we lie. We are all here a lifetime As though it seems a long time It is though, but a short time, To live and love, then die. Like a grain of sand That falls upon the beach To be caught up in the rain or air And to go where no one can reach, A Girl becomes a Woman The Boy becomes a Man And everyone makes their own fall, Like a simple, grain of sand.
