I had a big idea
I had a crazy eye
I broke the sacred seal
I told a lazy lie
I`ve had my conscience bent
I`ve had my patience tried
I`ve been up in the desert and down by the river side
Will the eagle fly
If the sky`s untrue
Do the faithful sigh
Because they are so few
Remember when I cried
Remember when you knew
Remember the look in your eyes
I know I do
And count the stars to measure time
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea, I crawl on my knees
Feel it coming in
Feel it going out
Water covers sin
Blood covers doubt
So I begin again
Again the kneeling bow
There was a time that I might have surrendered
But not now
Consult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea I crawl on my knees
Consult the cards to measure my
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
At the sea I wait on my knees
At the sea I wait on my knees
At the sea I wait on my knees
