I had a big idea
I had a crazy eye
I broke the sacred seal
I told a lazy lieI've had my conscience bent
I've had my patience tried
I've been up in the desert and down by the river sideWill the eagle fly
If the sky's untrue
Do the faithful sigh
Because they are so fewRemember when I cried
Remember when you knew
Remember the look in your eyes
I know I doAnd count the stars to measure time
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea, I crawl on my kneesFeel 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 nowConsult the cards to measure mine
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
To the sea I crawl on my kneesConsult 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
