Grain by Grain

You were gone for a month and I didnt think Id see you again.
I had plans when you got back. Your heart was mine to win.
I look into the box I made for you that holds my memories.
How can a feeling disappear so fast when you never thought it could leave?

I held you up on a hill
You were there and I was still,
Trying to climb to you,
Reach the summit, see the view.
But when I got there I was scared.
Most definitely not prepared
For what I saw was not in mind
A million people on the other side.

Theres a connection between me and all of you,
And once you have found it, you see through a clearer point of view.

I was waiting I was wishing,
I didnt know what I was missing.
I dont know just where I went right
But Im at the top and it feels so right.
And I dont know, but I dont think Im here just for the ride.
All I know is that were fighting for the same thing side by side.

A grain of sand was lost today,
Caught a wave and swam away.
The beach it came from still looks just the same.
Whats the worth of one small grain?
I am worthless I am plain.
But together, we, the world, can change grain by grain.

Theres a connection between me and all of you,
And once you have found it, you see through a clearer point of view.

I didnt think there would be more fighting for what I fought for.
I know I lost a lot, but I can learn so much more.
What the millions on the hill had been guiding me to.
All the guidance lead to you.

And theres a connection between me and between you,
And once we have found it well see through a clearer point of view.

Now youre gone from my mind,
From my heart and my design.
I dont know just what I lost,
But I think Im ready to find.
The reason I was lead to you
That clear and pristine day.
There is a reason why I stand on the hill with you
And one million other people too today.
